Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To Edmonton
Rick Nash (86)
DET 1st 2024

To Winnipeg
Evgeny Kuznetsov (61)
EDM 3rd 2024


Probably makes no sense mid to long term to move Kuz for Nash; one will continue to put up 74 pts per season for another 8-9 years, while the other probably has only 2 more elite seasons in him, but the pick swap helps with sending Kuznetsov.

Regardless, this season is a waste and I need to shake things up.

Thanks Trevor!

Forgot to mention WPG retains 50% of Nash's contract

Winnipeg agrees (retention on Nash included)

Nash is a beast but thinking longer term, for a possible new GM coming in to have Kuznetsov's high-end offense signed long-term, at a reasonable rate for a player of his calibre, makes sense. Nash will probably be done by the time the giant collection of picks Winnipeg has is ready to contribute to a cup-contending roster, whereas Kuznetsov should still be going strong.
