I can’t blame the guy. The Rangers are such a good organization,” Nash told The Post before Panarin made his first return on Thursday night in the arena he called home for two seasons, having signed a seven-year, $81.5 million free-agent deal with the Blueshirts this summer.
“Playing in New York, playing in MSG,” Nash said, “I wouldn’t trade my six years in New York for any hockey experience.”
When Nash came to the Rangers, it was in a trade (that he initiated) in the summer of 2012, and he was supposed to be the missing piece that made the Rangers Stanley Cup contenders.
