Blue Jackets trade Riley Nash to Maple Leafs

Riley Nash has been traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for a 2022 7th round pick - that 7th becomes a 6th if he plays 25% of Toronto’s playoff games. Nash was acquired by Columbus as a UFA on July 1, 2018. He played 179 games for the Blue Jackets and was set to be a UFA on July 1st. He went 10-23-33 in his 3 seasons with the Blue Jackets and was a core defensive piece, especially on the penalty kill.

He was injured last Sunday against Florida and will likely miss the remainder of the regular season.
