IDK about this offseason, considering there’s no CBA past this one and no way of knowing what the cap’s gonna be (I gotta think the small market teams are gonna push for something to reduce the cap floor so they don’t have to go to the red just to make the floor). I would trade Nash now and get value now than wait until the offseason and potentially having his value hit if the new CBA has new rules in regards to the salary cap (and knowing Fehr, he’s gonna get his way with that).

The only thing missing is Howson being moved. He just made CBJ take 5 more years to “rebuild” and still no goalie.

I don’t see the goaltender in a trade with any of those teams above. However, that may not be as much a sticking point right as first believed. If they get a first back in a Nash deal with some young players, then they could move a combination of the picks they have after getting whoevers first as well as LA’s. I’m sure LA wouldn’t be averse to getting theirs back in a potential Bernier deal. Or Vancouver moving Schneider and getting some picks to keep the farm running.
