As much as Nash isn't producing, and he isn't, if you think he isn't contributing to wins you should watch the game closer.

He's essential out there. Instead of going onto the offensive side of a loose puck, he's going to the defensive side. Instead of trying to carry the puck on a line change he's putting into a corner and going for the change.

He buys his linemates time out there and spends most of his time focusing on not being a negative. That's huge when you have a player like Nash playing that way.

I think he's playing exactly how Vigneault is telling him to.

Edit: If you contrast his game to Crosby, who is also not producing, Nash is playing a much more impressive game of hockey.
