Rick Nash choose to be diplomatic when asked if he shared his agent's hopes that he would be traded before the trade deadline at 3pm EST on Monday. "No comment," Nash said, before adding, "It has been a great time living in Columbus. I'm a Blue Jacket today and I'm doing everything I can to move forward with this team. Like I've said before, the fans deserve a winning game, they deserve a winning team, and they're the ones who have been most patient." There is plenty of interest in Nash, but the Blue Jackets have been keeping their demands high. They might be hoping that a club gets desperate in the final hours before the deadline and parts with more than they should in order to get Nash. We'll find out soon enough.
