It’s been eleven years since the New York Rangers made the big trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets that saw the Rangers bring Rick Nash in from Ohio. Eleven years since the Rangers brought in the first overall pick from 2002. Doesn’t it seem like it was so much more recent than that? A lot of people remember exactly where they were when the news broke that Glen Sather had acquired Nash.
I talked about this trade and how it worked out for both teams a couple of days ago, so I’m going to mainly focus on the growth of this tree that came from this massive trade in 2012.
