The Jackets and Flyers made a trade on Monday that sees a familiar face heading back to Columbus + $2.5mill. CPHL playoff warrior Rick Nash has finally come home.
"With Bergeron at C, we wanted a good winger to compliment him and with Nash's track record in the playoffs, we think he is a good fit."
Heading to Philly is Chris Stewart, 11th overall in 2014 and a 2016 2nd.
"Chris Stewart is a hot and cold kinda guy, a poor man's Nash if you will. However, we felt that picking up a guy like Nash was worth it because we want to compete and we want to win games. Nash will help us win, Chris Stewart not so much."
Thanks to Joe for the trade.
