Orange & Black / Philadelphia Flyers

According to the Columbus Dispatch, Nash, who has a full no-trade clause in his contract, has told Howson he would approve a trade to one of these teams: the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, San Jose Sharks, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings.

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

Why pursue Nash: The Flyers lost offense this offseason with Jaromir Jagr leaving for the Dallas Stars via free agency. It's interesting to note that Nash had only five more points than the 40-year-old Jagr this past season -- but Nash didn't have Claude Giroux as his center. James van Riemsdyk was also traded to Toronto for defenseman Luke Schenn, so clearly the Flyers have room up front and a need for offense.

Fit: It seems natural for Nash to slot in on the right side of Giroux and Scott Hartnell. That's where Jagr played and excelled, and could you imagine the power and skill that a Hartnell-Giroux-Nash line could provide the Flyers? That's to say nothing of adding Nash to Philadelphia's power play. Nash can be a physical forward, so it doesn't seem like he would have too much trouble adapting to the Flyers' style.

Capology: The Flyers have just enough room under the cap to squeeze in Nash, but they would have to deal some salary to get him so it shouldn't be a big problem for a team that is known to spend to the cap.

For teams -- like the Penguins, Red Wings and Rangers -- who missed out on prized free agents such as Ryan Suter and Zach Parise this offseason, a trade for Rick Nash could be just what the doctor ordered.

Howson's want list now has to include Sean Couturier (the player the Flyers drafted with the No. 8 pick in 2011 that they acquired from Columbus in the Carter deal) and Brayden Schenn, but those young forwards may be non-starters for Holmgren. Erik Gustafsson, Matt Read, Wayne Simmonds, draft picks and prospects all could be available.

Проголосовал. Думаю в NYR!

От всей души поздравляю товарища Rangers... Разговоров-то было, а в итоге отдали Рика просто за хуету.

Очередное усиление ренжаков. В тройке с Ричардсом Нэш зажжот.
