I don't think so, at all
Anisimov is a very good two way player who might get 25-30 goals..think smolinski
Duby is a character guy coming off an off year who can easily put in 20-25 and play both ends of the ice and be a leader
Erixon is supposed to be very good..and sather is already weak on d
+ the 1st
not a bad deal at all for everyone knowing he had to go and a very limited # of teams with real interest and the ability to take on nash's salary

5 pennies for a Nickel and 2 pennies back.
I like Dubinsky, however he's pretty much Umberger in my books. He's a good 2 way Center, nothing spectacular.
Anisimov - enigmatic russian depth scorer, maybe he has more room to grow but looks like an average 2nd liner at best to me.
Erixon - likely a top 4 D at some point, however this kid already forced his way out of Calgary because they stunk, in 2 years how likely is he to want to stick with Columbus?
1st - likely bottom quarter of the round ... certainly a decent asset but obviously a crapshoot.
And somehow Sather managed to screw a 3rd round pick back on top of it.
Hands down huge win for the Rags IMO. And I don't even think Nash is as good as he's touted.
I'll be interested to see how his #'s are this year.

rags have a lot of money tied up in a one line. but it is a sick one... fact they didn't give up krieder or stephan was pretty big for them. colombus has some depth at center...
Kind of reminds me of the Thornton deal. - bruinsbeer69
diff was bruins didnt shop Thornton around and they should have..nash had a short list and Howson made best of a crap situation,,,,i thought he did ok actually....
I like Nash...always have...but not worth the $...or length of contract...

Correct....most of the league didn't even know Joe was on the block....but the return of Sturm, Primeau, and Stuart was a similar haul to what the Jackets got for their "face of tfe franchise"
Spicoli will kill himself before the end of this deal - bruinsbeer69
Not gonna lie ... Don't think that re-signing Cloooooooooooooooooode was a top priority with a year left on his current deal... What happens if he poops the bed this season? Then we're on the hook for 3-5 more years
If anything, I would have waited until mid season ... Give Cloooooooooode something to play for.
Just because you won a CUP 2 seasons ago doesn't automatically earn you the right to be the coach for the next decade. Too early for this, IMO. And too long a term as well ... Anything over 2 years for a coach is too long, IMO. Gotta give them reason to stay hungry.

Me too. I think the Rag$ are almost worse off now, honestly. They did a mini-dismantle and added a 1st to acquire Nash and his bad contract. Hope it comes back to bite them in the ass.

Police said Dale Whitmell tried to kill the mouse with the butt of his rifle when the weapon went off accidentally Wednesday at a camp on Anjigami Lake in Ontario, according to the Canadian news agency QMI.
He didn’t know the weapon was loaded when the bullet grazed his forehead. “He was very lucky,” Constable Amanda Huff said.
Whitmell was admitted to and released from the hospital, then charged with careless use of a firearm."
