Ossi Vaananen Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Ya 7.8 mil is ridiculous for a 60 point guy. We got that in Burrows for 2mil. Beyond Vancouver, there isn't any other competitive Canadian teams right now, so I'm not surprised with this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybarber Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Pretty sure I remember reading the Canucks were on his shortlist at the deadline, I think? I don't think it's necessarily he doesn't want to play in Canada, it's just the teams he would accept a trade to happen to be in the U.S. Don't know why Van wouldn't be on his list now if they were a few months ago, perhaps they never showed interest so no reason to add them to a list now?

Ronning4center Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I never wanted Nash here anyway. Great player, but ridiculous contract, both the length and the cap-hit. Would cost way too much for us also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybone Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 compared to what...Kovalchuck, Crosby, parise, suter, ovechkin, price, rinne ??? 7.8 for six of his prime years is not a bad deal....we will never get a player of that caliber for such a short term...ever.

WHL rocks Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 This doesn`t really make sense... usually a Canadian Hockey player dreams of playing for a Canadian team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauer1337 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 At this rate Nash would waive his ntc for any team now, its only a matter of time before he refuses to play and demands a trade, Dany heatley style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING ALBERTS Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I wasn't too keen on Nash in the first place, and yes I realize it is pure media speculation that he doesn't want to be in Canada but none of the teams on his list are Canadian either.

TotesMagotes Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 LOL no they just value privacy. There are a lot of great players who've won it all that don't want to play in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotesMagotes Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 funny that many people are saying the same... but lets forget contracts for a minute... sedin sedin nash how can any canucks fan NOT want a legit, goal scoring, top line power forward? seriously... and to top it off, hes CANADIAN - and not only canadian, he has the talent to be a shoe-in for team canada who has ridiculously stacked offence. we want to get bigger? we want to get tougher? we want the sedins back to 100 points? face it - we want nash. anyhow just my 2 cents.. its not the end of the world if he signs elsewhere, i just find it silly that so many canuck fans are like "nash? no thanks i dont like his contract" ... well it must be the contract because there isnt really much not to like about rick nash.. and since i've stayed away from nash threads i'll make this point here... iginla - 7 million cap hit malkin - 8.7 million cap thornton - 7 million eric staal - 8.25 million HMMM looks to me like if you want to keep an all-star power forward you have to shell out some moneys.

BenDrinkin Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If he doesn't want to play in Canada, clearly that means he doesn't/can't handle the pressure of a big market that actually cares about hockey. Let him rot in Columbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noheart Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I work in Pennsylvaina, I am completely immersed. The hockey awareness is basically non existent. It's like major league lacrosse, lots of die hard fans but not a part of the culture. Nash is totally defined by the sport and a Canadian national yet he elects to only play in the USA? What a greasy, greedy, coward. Grow some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
