Yup Dreger just broke the news. Unreal.

@DarrenDreger: I'm told Rick Nash trade to NYR is done pending trade call. Stepan not included.

Jackets get Ansimov,Dubinsky,Erixon , and a first round pick in return.

Not bad but surely doesn't seem like something that would take months to get hashed out....

Coming from a diehard Blueshirts fan I am dissapointed to say the least. Gave up way too much here for Nash. Anisimov leaving and giving up a first round pick hurts the most. Nash is going to tie up the Rangers for years to come.

General consenus in the hockey world is that Howson got fleeced. The old adage in sports is that whoever gets the best player wins the trade and in this case the Rangers acquired the far superior player. Nash has been phenomenal when playing with other good players with Team Canada and was stuck in hell in Columbus. With Richards setting him up he'll be a force.

Lol at missing Anisimov. We've seen about the best we will from him and Dubinsky. Who knows how Erixon will turn out. I've had a buddy with season's tickets to the Rangers emailing me all day he's so stoked. Can't believe I'm seeing Range Nation disappointment.
