Kingston 21 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 I was on HFBoards, and someone over there posted this, I found it interesting.. On TGOR this morning on the Team 1200 in Ottawa Pierre MacGuire said he strongly believes Holland makes a run at Rick Nash with a serious offer. What do you guys think about Nash?, and what would it take us to get him over here? 3 DatsyukianDangles122, Cloune and 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acidroach420 25 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 2012 1st round pick Valteri Filpulla Jan Mursak Brendan Smith I think it would be Flip or Huds and the rest. Way to much to give up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 If Howson deals the face of the franchise, he's nuts. That said, I wouldn't mind if we capitalized on his stupidity.

8 Legged RedWing 367 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 I don't think Filppula will be traded but I don't think he has to. Nyquist, Mursak, Smith, 2012 + 2013 1st round draft pick. Go for the cup. 1 DatsyukianDangles122 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Danny 155 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 Man. This would almost be too good to be true...but MacGuire is hardly Eklund, so there must be SOMETHING to the rumor. In addition to all the obvious stuff about his scoring, size and age, doesn't the kid have like 7 more years under contract? Jeebus. I'd hate to see Flip and/or Smith go, but color my interest more than piqued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylee 727 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 Rick Nash is my favorite player outside of the Red Wings. He is under some serious fire in Columbus for being a bad captain. If he were to come here, id about freak out in excitement. More than when we got Hossa, more than when we got Hull... this guy is offensively focused, a game breaker, and in my opinion, a star who needs a change of scenery. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWestWing 71 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 Always thought Nash underachieved based on the personnel around him. He could make a huge impact on the league in the right situation. No way tho to move Smith. We're gonna need all the D we can find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,961 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 Rick Nash would be great, but no to Filppula or Smith going to Columbus. Filppula is too valuable to this team, and with the chance that BOTH Lidstrom and Stuart will be gone next year, this team needs Smith to come in and be that solid #4-5 defenseman. He is signed thru 2018 for a hit of $7.8M per season. That would take us out of the Parise sweepstakes and it have to have Lidstrom retire for sure if we have any hopes of getting Suter... 1 T.Low reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Crazy 201 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 It will never happen. In good sport though, Rick Nash would be awesome he always was killer playing for Team Canada when he had some good players to play with. Flip Hudler a couple of picks for Nash 1 Cloune reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 I could not make the tuff call of trading Filp for Nash. Filp is finally having the breakout production year we've been waiting for, and while Nash is slumping, Filp is having the better year. And Filp does more better. I could not let him go. I could include Hudler, Eaves, Nyquist. Mule, Dats, Nash Z Filp, Bert Whatever you have to do to get that top six, wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,961 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 Again, if it involves trading Filppula, then I am not happy about it. I would offer them Hudler for sure and a number of prospects and picks, but not Filppula and not Smith. 1 T.Low reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Down 107 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 Again, if it involves trading Filppula, then I am not happy about it. I would offer them Hudler for sure and a number of prospects and picks, but not Filppula and not Smith. IMO there are some similarities between Filppula and Slava Kozlov. Kenny used Kozlov as part of a package to bring in a world class goalie. Maybe he could do the same with Flip to bring in a world class sniper. I know the comparison is a bit of a stretch, but it could work. Flip is having a career year and has some trade value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkingOvertime 536 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 2012 1st round pick Valteri Filpulla Jan Mursak Brendan Smith It might take this, but I wouldn't like to see Smith and Flip gone. The best I can come up with is; Mule Eaves Tatar Kindl 1st For Nash and Dorsett. Filppula couldn't hold Nash's jockstrap and would be a part of any trade to bring in a game changer. I would give him up in a heartbeat if Columbus wanted him in a deal for Nash. Nash is a better player, but FWIW Flip does have more points this season. Why Flip and not Mule? Mule likely has more trade value, and his contract isn't great (if you consider Z's contract with it). IMO Flip is undervalued by a lot of poster's on LGW. 1 Kage5691 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ya, but I will still hate it...especially if Hudler was left here. If losing Filppula and Hudler & Prospect for Nash was an option, I guess I could live with it! Like I have a choice! It's not like Columbus doesn't like Filppula, they wanted him in 08' when they were offering Fedorov back to us... Make the deal, then trade Emmerton or another prospect for Moen, then acquire Nabokov. We keep forgetting (or at least I do) that Cleary's NTC is now exempt and can be moved as well. He would make a nice "A" in Columbus I do think, but then again, his chemistry with Helm is nice right now too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 Nash has 33 points in 51 games this season.. 17 goals Filppula has 40 points in 50 games.. 15 goals. Yes, I know Filppula is having a career year and Columbus/Nash is having a bad one... Nash's value is obviously higher. But still I don't like the idea of giving away Filppula + picks + prospects for a guy that we're HOPING will return to form with a change of scenery. Also, our depth down the middle would seriously suffer if we remove Filppula. And Nash has a big contract, which would reduce our chances of bringing in suitable replacement on the defense after Lids and Stuart. I like Parise as an option slightly better. 3 T.Low, RedWingsRox and DatsyukianDangles122 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 i'd rather have jeff carter. more versatile as a rh center and on a less lucrative (but still huge) contract. would cost less than nash too imo. same age as nash if I'm not mistaken (27). 1 Cloune reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, like I said if Holland acquired Nash, then it pretty much eliminates us from the Suter sweeps unless Lids retires for sure AND Stuart leaves as a UFA. Also we can forget about Parise in the off season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff6851 168 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 As long as we don't move Smith or Jurco I'm all for it, unfortunately I think it would take one or the other plus others. As much as I'd hate losing Flip I'd definitely trade him for a few years (extension maybe?) of Nash. 1 Uncle Danny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
