In the hypothetical scenario that the Columbus Blue Jackets wanted to trade Rick Nash, he would be open to waiving his no-trade clause. "The city of Columbus deserves a winner and deserves a good product on the ice," Nash said. "If it comes to that -- like you said, all speculation -- but if they don't want me here, they want to move me? I'm not going to do something where it's going to hurt the franchise just because I have that in my contract." Cue the trade rumors, not that they were going to be avoidable, given that the Blue Jackets are already well out of the playoff race with half a season to go.
