Source is now telling me that Del Zotto was not, in fact, ever part of the trade. "del zotto" translates to "of the fleecing" in Italian.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Wow this is what CBJ was holding out for?

 

[Coldnoodle]

Anisimov, Dubinsky, Erixon and a 1st.

Sucks for Columbus fans.

Hopefully for their sake Dubinsky regains his form.

 

[Red_Man]

It depends on the 4th piece, Dubinsky sucked last year, Erixon hasn't been that good and the 1st is likely to be a late pick.

Uhhhh Erixson is a top D prospect across all NHL talent pools.....

 

[LyleLanley]

CBJ couldn't have found a better deal than that?

 

[bucknuticus]

Never posted in this thread but im a CBJ fan, and this bums me out a lot. Nash was the only positive thing our franchise has ever had.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

You never get good value trading a star, especially when he's demanded a trade. So I think it's an alright return considering.

 

[Kave_Man]

Where was Eklund during this whole thing?

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Anisimov, Dubinsky, Erixon and a 1st.

Sucks for Columbus fans.

Hopefully for their sake Dubinsky regains his form.

The fuck was all the wait for? If this was the best they could do then holy shit

 

[Cagey]

Oh eat dicks Howson. That's the best you could extract? Really?

 

[Red_Man]

Probably the best Howson was going to get with the way he played this out. It's not a bad rack in but it would never look good unless he fleeced some guys cause he's trading a start player.

 

[jello44]

CBJ couldn't have found a better deal than that?

Howson tried to nestle Couturier and Brayden Schenn from the Flyers but Homer was like LOLNO.

But wow, this trade, Howson better start walking to the unemployment line.

 

[ActStriker]

That's its for Nash? Really?

 

[worldrunover]

It depends on the 4th piece, Dubinsky sucked last year, Erixon hasn't been that good and the 1st is likely to be a late pick.

Agreed. Anisimov and Dubinsky are quality guys but they're 3rd liners. Erixon has potential but who knows, and a pick is a pick.

And the Rangers get a top line scorer who is only 28. How exactly did the Rangers give up too much? You guys are crazy.

 

[Acid08]

haha wow fuck off Howson.

 

[Wendel Clark]

So how are the Rangers going to replace the guys they just lost? Two decent centers are gone.

 

[Plinko]

Where was Eklund during this whole thing?

Had nothing to do with Philly so he had no source.

 

[KingHenrik30]

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Erixon refused to sign in Calgary but is going to be roses about a move to Columbus? I kinda doubt it. Didn't Howson learn from the Carter ordeal?

 

[Coldnoodle]

Uhhhh Erixson is a top D prospect across all NHL talent pools.....

I've watched him a couple times, wasn't impressed, but who knows he could flourish in Columbus and prove me wrong.

What was the rumoured Detroit deal?

 

[jbug617]

I wonder if the Rangers make a move for Doan? I think they can fit him in.

 

[Plinko]

Shocked Howson turned down Franzen/Filppula/Nyquist for this. Guess he really didn't want to trade in division.

 

[Razorskin]

So how are the Rangers going to replace the guys they just lost? Two decent centers are gone.

Brad Richards, Derek Stepan, Brian Boyle, Jeff Halpern


They'll be just fine.

 

[Socreges]

New York was filled with dmen so Erixon was expendable, the 1st round pick will probably be mid-20s, Dubinsky had a poor season immediately after signing his contract, and Anisimov... is Russian.

New York has done well here. CBJ got a bunch of uncertainties.

 

[KingHenrik30]

So how are the Rangers going to replace the guys they just lost? Two decent centers are gone.

Dubinsky and Anisimov didn't play center last year

 

[dem]

Did anyone really think the jackets were going to do better than that? He demanded a trade and he has an enormous contract.

Howson played this about as well as his mentor, Kevin Lowe.

 

[Kifimbo]

CBJ is also giving a 3rd round pick. LOL.

 

[KingHenrik30]

I wonder if the Rangers make a move for Doan? I think they can fit him in.

That's the plan apparently

 

[cube444]

How long before Anisimov bolts to KHL and Erixon to SEL?

Howson. :lol

 

[Plinko]

Did anyone really think the jackets were going to do better than that? He demanded a trade and he has an enormous contract.

They had a better trade offer from Detroit.

 

[Revenant]

So if that's the trade... take a look at your 2012-13 blue jackets roster with one 20 goal scorer!

Lol lol

 

[vas_a_morir]

That wraps it up on the Columbus hockey experiment.

 

[Coldnoodle]

I hope Nash has a good first half of the season :lol

 

[cube444]

They had a better trade offer from Detroit.

Different conferences.

 

[Socreges]

So if that's the trade... take a look at your 2012-13 blue jackets roster with one 20 goal scorer!

Lol lol

Bobrovsky's on the case.

 

[talisayNon]

RICK NASH!!!!!
NOW SIGN DOAN!!!!

 

[Crazymoogle]

Rangers still have cap room?

 

[Leeroy3101]

General consensus by NHL-GAF is that Howson got fleeced?

I've never heard of any the players we're getting in return. Granted, I just started following the NHL back in January. Oh well, at least we got Bob and his wonderful dance moves :-\

Howson must believe that Cam Atkinson is going to step up in Nash's shoes.

 

[KernelPanic]

They had a better trade offer from Detroit.

I think Ottawa's rumored offer was better, although it fell through (amen).

 

[Plinko]

Different conferences.

I know. It was a much better offer though.

 

[Revenant]

Bobrovsky's on the case.

Gonna need to solve the mystery of how to only let in a goal a game for his team to have a chance

 

[talisayNon]

NHL: Rangers
MLB: Olliver Perez
NFL: JETS!
NBA: Grudgingly the Knicks

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Rangers still have cap room?

Looks like a good deal of cap room actually.

 

[cube444]

I know. It was a much better offer though.

Speaking of offers, this is from Feb. 27:

The Rangers were believed to be offering Brandon Dubinsky, defenseman Tim Erixon, a prospect such as J.T. Miller or Christian Thomas and a No. 1 pick.

Pretty much the same trade. Oh Howson. :lol

[dem]

oiy

The jackets included a 3rd round pick too?

 

[ShaneB]

Just now seeing the news about Nash and the Rangers finally closing a deal. Thank god, please end this and let us all move on!

 

[jbug617]

I believe the asking price for the Bruins was 2 out of the 3 (Krecji, Seguin or Lucic) plus Hamilton.

 

[Red_Man]

I think Ottawa's rumored offer was better, although it fell through (amen).

Ottawa's package sounded a lot better then this one, good thing for you guys Nash want's nothing to do with Ottawa.

 

[calder]

I'm not sure how, but this trade reads as bad for both teams to me. I need to read up on the rangers guys more maybe, but I just assumed a deal would involve Stepan for the jackets to move on it

 

[Socreges]

General consensus by NHL-GAF is that Howson got fleeced?

I wouldn't say that. Nash is still a great player, but his best years are probably behind him (though he'll do very well with Richards) and he still comes at a monster cap hit. Problem is that Howsen took all risky pieces in return. So it could turn out to be pretty disastrous... or pretty good.
