NHL trade rumour: Rick Nash to Maple Leafs

With the Columbus Blue Jackets sinking in the standings and suffering perennial attendance woes, how long before GM Scott Howson begins the rebuild by shopping Rick Nash and his $8 million salary? Well, of the 4 teams at the bottom of the standings, Anaheim may be timid about dealing with Brian Burke again, and Carolina is unlikely to part with either Staal or Skinner, while the Islanders probably still feel they are in the race. This means that Columbus is the best trading partner for an upwardly mobile team like the Leafs, so let us think about what it will take to land Nash.

First, the Buds are close to the salary cap so will need to send at least 7 to 7.5 mil in salary to Columbus, though Leafs contracts will expire before Nash's, providing room for Columbus to re-sign prospects in coming years.

From Toronto:

Nazem Kadri
Jussi Rynnas
Matt Lombardi
Mike Komisarek
2013 1st Round Draft Pick


From Columbus:

Rick Nash
