Rick Nash is reportedly unhappy in Columbus.

Some of his friends are claiming that the winger is not happy with the current direction of the team. The team is in last place in the NHL at the moment.

Nash is willing to entertain trade offers, but is not willing to demand a trade to force his way out of town. He has a no movement clause in his contract, which is similar to a no trade clause.

He said back in January that he would be willing to waive his no movement clause to go to a contender. Nash has been the face of the franchise, so it would be hard to trade him.

That doesn’t mean he can’t be traded, as stars have been traded in sports for years. Teams would have to give up a lot to acquire Nash from the Blue Jackets.
