If you could name any player from the Columbus Blue Jackets, 99% of you would say Rick Nash.
Nash is the face of the Jackets. In fact, he is one of the best players in the NHL.
According to a post on the Puck Daddy blog on Yahoo, Rick Nash would be willing to waive his no-trade clause if the Blue Jackets asked him too.
There is no way Columbus could do that.
That would be the dumbest thing that franchise could do.
With a core of Nash, Jeff Carter and James Wisniewski, the Jackets have a solid base to build around.
Trading Rick Nash would be fatal to that organization, as they would be losing a fan favorite.
It will be very interesting to see what the Blue Jackets will do at the trading deadline as their playoff hopes were dashed within the first two weeks of the season.
I believe that unloading their top talent is not in the best interest of the organization.
If the Jackets feel they need to make a move, axe the coach.
Simple as that.
