Rick Nash + 1st overall draft pick in 2012 (mod edit: all such proposals here)
stupid and nonsensical trade for habs. keep the top 3 pick and just add him to the three cornerstones in subban, price and pacioretty - all 24 or younger
To Jackets Patches,Subban,Price Eller,Beaulieau,Tinordi,2012 1st,2nd,3rd
2013 1st,2nd,3rd,432 thousand cases of beer,all English speaking scouts we have,the rights to half our Stanley Cups.....
Random OP: Value of Nash? oh, and the 1st overall?
5,000 posters: Nash overrated, mane. I wouldn't trade my dead dog for him.

You mean that star franchise player thats getting payed 7.8 mil a season ,
Sits 61st in the scoring race with a total of 56 pts so far this season and has broken the 70 point barrier once in his 9 year career. That the star franchise player i don't want near my team.
Heck we have little Desharnais who has put up that many points and he's only being Payed 850 thou a season on the team next to the Jackets.
He's done it once? Twice? Well that's as good as 8 or 9 times!
How is Price = 1st overall??? Are you a real person?
What if Yakupov busts like Daigle, Stefan, Wickenheiser then the Habs just traded their franchise goalie for a BUST?
A known commodity is worth more than a potential BUST.
Price is worth more than Nash: he's younger, not paid $7.8 million, and plays at a more crucial position
Any known commodity is not necessarily worth more than a 'potential bust'. If you're looking to acquire the first overall pick, it's because you believe in what that player will become - so you can take that out of the equation.
As for salary. Price is very affordable this year, on his first RFA contract, but so was Nash. As rumor has it, Price will be looking for at least 5 million and probably around 6 million this offseason. Likewise you can take that out of the equation.
Nonetheless I can understand wanting to hold onto a known franchise goalie, as fragile as goalies can be.
What would it take (from Montreal) to land Rick Nash and the 1st overall draft pick in 2012?
I would love to see a Yakupov and Nash tandem in Montreal!
What would it take?
No one should want both Nash and Yakupov they both are first line RW so you would have to play one of them on the second line. It would be better to take Nash and a center as your first pick.

Nobody said it would be a smart trade for Montreal, but if you want to get the first overall from Columbus you're going to need to have a pretty solid tender to offer up.
