Silver Nuggets: Playoff odds up to 72.6 per cent

Right?

“as seen through a sepia filter”

I dont think Columbus really wants to move him. It will most likely cost some poor sucker GM their head in a basket to pay the asking price. I mean, if there is team that has ability to make the move – all the power to Nash to have a chance to shine.

There are a half dozen teams that I can see having fire sales in the next couple of years, and a ton of rebuilds following Ottawa’s successful example. I think next years trade deadline is going to be an all out, all you can eat buffet, with lots of teams willing to move players. Those GM’s with capspace, and being smart buyers…could really take advantage; so we are best to take stock and wait until then.

And, I still dont think we appear anywhere on the scrap of paper containing "Nash’s list of mystery, awe, and wonder. I am confident next year will provide a buyers market.

… for one game with 20+ left for all teams

Sorry to say, I cant back this up in an way.

I think hockey people are paying attention to what BM is doing. I wasn’t thinking of the CBA, or anything involving serious hockey knowledge. Most of what I know about comes from here.

Just a hunch, that a rebuild with a vision and plan can work. Think of the WHA teams joining. The rebuild is a step up from a move or expansion. All of those WHA teams produced hall of famers, won their divisions, and were cup condenders – within 10 years of that inclusion.

Think of Ottawa as a team, like that – and there is promise. It is a sound model.

I can say – Vancouver, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia NYR…holding on to what they have. Montreal, Buffalo, Calgary, Tampa, Los Angeles, Dallas – I can see these guys letting it all go cheap.

Even if the Sens dont make the playoffs, I think BM has set an example other teams.
