Rick Nash
Rundblad
Regin or Foligno
Roster Player (not named Erik Karlsson or Jason Spezza)
2011 1st Round Pick (appears to be Top 10)

Columbus continues to not win with Rick Nash. I am a huge Rundblad fan (he probably is the best of our "elite 3" defense prospects (Rundblad/Weircioch/Cowen), so I hate to give up the leading scoring defenseman in the SEL, but Rick Nash is an elite forward and thus, an elite price must be paid. I feel like this deal might make Columbus better in the long-term, and it would give us Nash + Spezza, which might be a nice combination. |
Rundblad, Regin, RNH, and Michalek? for Nash? Sign me up. Done.
EDIT: Before you flame this guy Jackets fans, think this to yourself, Brassard, Moore, Voracek, Filatov, Rundblad, Regin, RNH, Michalek, Russsell, Golubef, Savard, Calvert...thats a hell of a youth movement. Plus OUR 1st round pick which could be Murphy. God I wish this would happen so badly, too bad Howson will NEVER trade Nash.
