One of the reasons teams might be unwilling to trade for Rick Nash is because of the uncertainty surrounding the CBA. It's hard for a team to figure out if they can afford Nash's $7.8 million annual cap when they don't know what the 2012-13 ceiling will be. Until a new CBA is reached, teams might bulk at trading away key prospects and current NHLers for a guy that might prove to be undesirable from a salary cap perspective when the season starts. Unfortunately, this is another reason why the Blue Jackets might be put in the awkward situation of entering training camp with Nash.
