The 2015 NHL off-season is shaping up to be one of significant interest with Phil Kessel and Rick Nash potentially being available on the trade market.
“Mum is the word from the New York Rangers. They’re not talking about specifics, but I have to believe one thing that will at least be considered is the possibility of considering trading Rick Nash,” (Bob McKenzie – via The Score)
For the Maple Leafs, Nash hitting the market would complicate their desire to trade Kessel.
Both players are five-time 30+ goal scorers – although Nash has three additional seasons of 40+ – and bring a significant amount of offense to the table.
