TEAMS: Columbus Blue Jackets, New York Rangers
As Dave noted last week in our ongoing discussion about Rick Nash, it’s very possible that Nash wouldn’t be the only Blue Jacket coming back to the Rangers in a potential blockbuster trade this summer.
There have been wide-ranging reports of Columbus GM Scott Howson’s trade demands, but the general consensus seems to be that he wants a couple of NHL forwards, a top prospect and a first-round pick (in addition to the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty).
Though Rangers GM Glen Sather will not meet those specific demands, it’s still a certainty that a deal for Nash would require a significant multi-player package. It’s a good bet that Sather might require more players coming back from Columbus if he’s forced to part with prized young assets and it’s also possible that Howson would attempt to dump other dead weight in a Nash deal.
So what other Columbus players could be of interest to the Rangers and who would Howson love to send our way?

Rangers got deeper
The Rangers were eliminated in the Eastern conference finals against the Devils for a few reasons. Most fans question the lack of goal scoring and high end skill and rightly so.

Then there is the theory that the Rangers may have run out...
Boston Not a Likely Destination For Nash
Rick Nash trade rumors have been swirling since the trade deadline last season, but no deal has been made yet.
