That shouldn’t be a problem, really. T.J. Oshie and Rick Nast went together like two peas in a pod when it came to awesome hits that wound up with Nash on his butt.
↵Sadly (but not really) Columbus General Manager Scott Howson found a team willing to accept is bizonker demands for Nash, but it was the Rangers, who really didn’t agree with Howson on what “bizonkers” means.
↵↵The deal: #CBJ send LW Rick Nash, 3rd pick, minor-league D to #NYR for C Brandon Dubinsky, C Artim Anisimov, D Tim Erixon and 1st-rd pick.

The best part was that Howson actually had to sweeten the pot to get Glen Sather to bite. Now, the Jackets didn’t get back slouches, but with Artim Anisimov the Blues can have at least one good target for Vladimir Tarasenko next season.
