That will probably be more relevant then Staal.<BR/><BR/>Max, it really doesn't matter if he "worth" it or not. Jackets are pretty much "all-in" with Nash at this point. They have given him the C, called him the franchise player, and Hitch has pimped him as the guy they have to build around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-39014261001323614082008-09-12T10:38:00.000-04:002008-09-12T10:38:00.000-04:00Re: Radulov--I heard about a week ago that 'Radulo...Re: Radulov--I heard about a week ago that 'Radulov isn't going to last in Russia'. The info came from a former NHL player who now plays over there and played vs. Radulov's team. Apparently he was complaining about everything, especially the travel (and people complain about the travel in the west!). It isn't so much as the distances traveled as it is the fact that they will travel in the morning and have a game that night. As far as I know there is no NHLPA equivalent that looks out for the best interest of the players, therefore the league does whatever they want. <BR/><BR/>See, the money is good and everything, but what these dough heads don't realize is that YOU ARE STUCK IN SIBERIA!!! <BR/><BR/>Also, our friend Jagr is well, being Jagr and screwing everything up wherever he is as well. <BR/><BR/>My question is what implications will there be if Radulov now flees Russia? If the Preds/NHL accept him back, what precedent is set? It should be interesting to see how it all pans out.<BR/><BR/>RE: Nash. Yeah, sure 8 million for 8 years...sounds good. I don't care that much as long as he and the team keeps playing well and the team starts and continues to win!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-22868776280541671002008-09-12T10:18:00.000-04:002008-09-12T10:18:00.000-04:00Something else to keep in mind is that Nash will m...Something else to keep in mind is that Nash will make 6.5 this season and 7 the next... <BR/><BR/>I don't think he'll be taking anything less than that to stay in Columbus on an extended deal.<BR/><BR/>-LTLLTLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817321633985765198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-15123669995062697752008-09-12T10:14:00.000-04:002008-09-12T10:14:00.000-04:00I don't think Rick's worth that kind of money.

And really, when you get into salaries that high, what's the difference between 8 and 7 million? That could be money put to getting a new teammate, bettering chances to get to the Stanley Cup...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-20739260476881008512008-09-12T09:55:00.000-04:002008-09-12T09:55:00.000-04:00Nash is also a winger, which will pull down his po...Nash is also a winger, which will pull down his potential salary some. Centers are more expensive.<BR/><BR/>Either way, he stats haven't justified a 8+ million dollar salary to this point. Hard for his agent to do more then ask for it. We'll see how it plays, but this season could make a huge impact on whether he's a 7 million a year or 9.<BR/><BR/>Consider that AO just got a deal that averages out to 9.5 million a year. Nash can't touch his.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
