The Rangers will most likely ask Nash for his list of teams come late February and Nashville will definitely be on it. Nashville has all the components needed to win the cup this year. Adding another winger especially a player like Nash will put them over the top and will give them a better chance to take the cup home.

Before you readers start to freak out over this trade you have to put this trade into a bigger perspective. Grabner is a top penalty killer and one of the fastest players in the league. That said, he's also top 15th in goals scored (21) all coming from 5v5 play (that's impressive). Grabner could honestly grab a 1st round pick if a team is willing to risk it all but for now I think a 2nd and 5th are pretty good.

Boston has a great defense but with all the injuries they're plagued with (more to come most likely) I wouldn't be surprised if they made a trade for a veteran dman for their 3rd pairing. Solid trade for both teams

Before people argue Desharnais has been solid for NYR especially since NYR lacks so much offense at times. DD has been a contributor both on offense and defense this season and since TOR has a good amount of assets a 3rd seems reasonable. I wouldn't call TOR desperate by giving a 3rd rounder up for a guy who has over 55% FO (better than Kadri, Bozak, and Matthews this season) Let's not forget he's played all over the place from the 1st line to the 4th all season tallying 22 points in 47 games. The guy would be a perfect addition to a team like Toronto looking at the playoffs.
