I stand by it. I wouldn't want Rick Nash if I were trying to build a championship team. He's always been a regular season player. Scores goals over 82, but isn't a game breaker or playoff performer. He could go from a "high end" player to a legitimate superstar if he'd actually step up to the plate when it mattered. Also, his production has been declining steadily since leaving Columbus.
Maybe a complimentary piece, but definitely never had the makings of a good core player. Just like Carter was up until this last season or two.
