How Acquiring Rick Nash Is Still Paying Off For The New York Rangers 8-Years Later | NHL Trade Trees 

The speed round got me like: 😮

The fact they also signed the Breadman makes this hilarious

So basically the Rick Nash trade built both teams for the next decade. Crazy

The hilarious part of this is I’m wearing a rangers Nash shirt cuz I couldn’t find a different shirt LMAO

Dont forget to mention that artemi panarin ended up being a rangers anyways 🤣

Looking back at this, Pavel Buchnevich, Ryan Strome, Ryan Lindgren, K’Andre Miller, Mika Zibanejad, Morgan Barron, Brendan Smith, and (indirectly) Artemi Panarin were all a part of this trade tree, and were all very vital to the Rangers this past season.

I’ve been commenting this trade tree on every trade tree for the past 6 months thank you. I will no longer bother you.

I won't stop until we get Hossa for Heatley!

HOW DARE YOU START THIS WITH LUNDQVIST JOKES

As a Ranger fan I was Happy as Hell when we got him, happier to see him go and damn glad to see what we got and continue to get...Could be the best of the trade trees...

I miss Rick Nash. He had that concussion in '15-'16 (I think) and was never the same after that

I thanked freelance tom audibly but then realized he would never know so thank you freelance tom

Thank you Jeff Gorton. Dude fleeced multiple people in this trade tree

As a Columbus fan, I enjoyed this trip down memory lane. One note about McQuaid: it wasn't that he wasn't a fit. He took a hit to the head a few games into his time here and it ended up ending his career. Fun trade-related fact about McQuaid: he was drafted by the Blue Jackets in 2005 then later traded to Boston for a pick that Columbus would later flip to Dallas and which was used by the Stars to select Jamie Benn.

The signing of “thank you” at the end of the video is neither unnoticed nor unappreciated. It brings me back to watching Flyers games with my late brother who was hard of hearing and me signing the play-by-play. So thanks for the smile. (ETA: I know we could have put subtitles on, but it was something my dad did until he kind of lost interest in the sport, and it was great practice for me when I was younger)

Awkward, Anisimov scored that goal against Tampa not NYR.

That jab at lundquist didn’t age very well whoops😂

Anisimov did that celebration as a Ranger... might want to edit that part out

Watching this now, as Chinakov has been looking mighty good his first 10 periods with the Blue Jackets. Always fun to look back on

I always felt Nash was one of the most brilliant wingers of our era but never had the elite center he needed to shine.

I miss Dubinsky so much. He is still one of my favorite players in the league.

As a Rangers fan. I'm smiling all thru this video. Thanks everybody involved! Keep them coming.

honestly this trade wasn’t as bad as I remember for the Jackets

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TREE FOREVER THANK YOU

Rick Nash is now working with the CBJ front office as an assistant to the GM. Pretty great to have him back.

Can't go one video without a reminder of 2019 lol

Takes a while, but they're so good! Thanks for all this work, and I'm very much looking forward to the next one!

Is it bad that everytime dubinsky’s line came on the ice for the jackets I referred to the entire line as the real mans man line and I played Steven regals theme song for the entire shift

Well done. Props to ALL the hard work! Enjoyed all of this

Great video man...loved it! I just wanted to point out the inaccuracy of the Anismov celly... It was for the NYR not against, which would make the Columbus goal horn obsolete in this situation... Besides that, awesome video man! 👍

Woooooow great freaking job Steve. Been waiting for this one for a long time and you did not disappoint. Keep up the great work!

I really enjoy your videos. Your passion for the game shines through and your humour is on point. Thanks for the edutainment!

these videos are so fun for hockey fans. mostly the energy and effort the guy talking puts into it

Started watching for a player I liked in Rick Nash but was quickly reminded of a forgotten goalie I loved in Steve Mason. The 2nd best Kitchener Ranger goalie of my lifetime next to John Gibson of course

This might be my favourite one so far. So many huge trades involved!

With Buchnevich being traded to the St. Louis Blues for Sammy Blais and a 2nd round draft pick, this trade tree is still ongoing and growing.

As a Rangers fan this was a nice watch (aside from the goal from he who shall not be named and the jab at Hank). Loved Nash as a Ranger, even when he wasn’t scoring he was still a very important part of the team with surprising solid two way play. Really like Lindgren’s grit, hope he didn’t just have a one off year. He wasn’t even on our radar when acquired but after coming up from the AHL was the only good left handed defenseman (still is). Feel like you underrated Buch, he’s a part of the team but a very important one. He’s an excellent play driver finally hitting his stride. Feel like that happens a lot though, very under appreciated player.

Dude I just want to say I love these. I’m from North Carolina, very late to hockey. And I’m HOOKED. In love. Going back through history trying to get as familiar as I am with the NFL. But I just wanted to say these videos help a lot and I absolutely love them

Thank, Tom for putting this trade tree together. ❤

The panarin trade still hurts as a hawks fan

Rangers fan here, really fun trade tree Steve! Cool to see guys like buch and strome and even lindgren big parts of this team because of Nash

Rangers made out like bandits, I’m so overjoyed for them. I can only hope we’ll be able to see them in person next season 🤞🏻

YES. I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE THE FIRST VIDEO TO SEE THIS THANK YOU STEVE

I was in the building when Bread's empty netter sealed the sweet over Tampa. I know people outside of Columbus wonder what the hell Jarmo was thinking, swinging for all of those expiring contracts. That moment right there is part of what he was thinking. The roof nearly blew off Nationwide Arena the second that goal went in and I've never heard the crowd be nearly as loud as the Cannon before. I get super emotional to this day thinking about that sweep, even though the Jackets lost to Boston in the next round. That doesn't even matter. Because FINALLY winning that playoff series and taking down the Goliath Lightning in the process was worth every trade and penny.

Keep these trade trees coming 🙏

I was watching this in 1.25, the lightening round was crazy.

forgot to mention that tyler motte is a god in vancouver right now

Ive been waiting for another trade tree.... im so happy

Finally! I have been waiting for this one. Great trade for both sides

Need more trade trees love these videos

Would be super interesting to see all the 1st round picks the Penguins traded away in the last decade! and see who was drafted and how well the guys did who the penguins obtained

Thank you Freelance Editor Tom❤️

Thanks Tom for editing

Failed to realize that Motte and Panarin, who were the pieces in the trade for Saad back to CHI, played together on NYR twice.

Great video, I'd love to see do the trade tree that sent Doug Gilmour from the Calgary Flames to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

I wish you sold trade trees as posters. Would be great to hang my favorites up, especially when they're lopsided!!

I love how you commented respectfully on Kerby Rychel. I feel like vids about the other big 3 sports would say ‘and this guy was an absolute bust trash can’ But you were exactly right to nod to how tough it is to make even minor teams, let alone play 40+ games in the league. Good show Edit: and seemingly every time you mention someone who made it but didn’t have an illustrious career.

Amazing work wow!!!

As a Caps fan, that Lundquist bit at the beginning kind of stings now that he won't be playing for us either, because of his HEART CONDITION.

Brandon Saad is sooo much younger than I always think he is

Nice one!!!! Good job man!!!

god the dubi part of this trade is making me nostalgic. man i miss him, his line with atkinson and calvert, those were my favs for a while!

Yesssss, you can go even deeper on this trade tree, through a player thats involved in the initial trees ;)

yay a new trade tree steve i will say i love this series it was a amazing idea

Man i remember that blue jackets 2014 playoff series. It was some of the best hockey I've watched. He did probably the best job at pestering Crosby

Thank you Freelance Editor Tom

Thank you editor Tom!

Im glad to see you again Steve

You mentioned Tyler Wall as part of the Yandle deal, but the other draft pick was Morgan Barron who appears like will be a decent middle six player for the Rangers. Had an outstanding NCAA career at Cornell.

Rick Nash was the bridge between Lemieux and McDavid Players that were complete unicorns on the ice

Thank you freelance editor Tom. You are both the hero we need and want!

Wow that was long but it was really fun watching it and I really enjoyed it

Good to see the #CBJ on your channel Steve, THanks!

Just a side note, Morgan Barron was packaged at this most recent trade deadline for Andrew Copp, also Tyler Motte and Artemi Panarin ended up with the Rangers following the trade deadline. Meaning that from this trade we got Artemi panarin, Mika Zibanejad, Andrew Copp, K’Andre Miller, Ryan Strome, Ryan Lindgren, and Pavel Buchnevich (who got traded to St.Louis)

I'd love to see a Goligoski for Neal & Niskanen trade tree considering Neal was a 40 goal scorer and Nisky had a solid career

The only reason the Ramgers were in the Stanley Cup finals is because Chris Kreider injured Carey Price

Great video!

Speed round was nice with the old timey piana, it would be awesome to do the Trevor Linden for Bryan Berard, Todd Bertuzzi and draft pick as that tree was still active until this past offseason for the Canucks

Thank you Tom

Love this series keep it going.

This is when I became a hockey fan and still love it today

I know it’s not part of a trade but an ending note of where Breadman signed woulda been just the right amount of salt in the wound for this Ranger fan.

im a habs fan and no matter the team u get me hyped AF to watch the trade trees

Thank you, editor Tom

Thank you Freelance Editor Tom 🙏

I want the trading of picks tree !! Im intrigued!

I love a good trade tree, length isn't necessary, but man is the demonstration of impact amazing!

Thanks for making 30 mins of my life intersting.

I have mentioned about the Pavel Bure trade tree from Vancouver to Florida. But another trade tree that would be intriguing is the Trevor Linden trade tree

Fun Colorado Avs fact: We've had Dano and Saad on our roster in the last two season. (Dano didn't last long and went back to Columbus).

I really like your trade trees 😃

I wonder if there's a spin off possible of the Trade Tree - a How'd They Get That Guy tree. Go thru a line-up see how they got to the team. Lindgren was mentioned in this trade tree, and I saw Adam Fox's name in another trade as an after thought (Norris trophy winning Adam Fox) and today Fox/Lindgren is the Ranger's top pair.

funny that tyler motte is also on NYR now too. Love these videos.

You guys could do the Trevor linden trade to the islanders, it turns into Todd bertuzzi which turns into Roberto luongo which turns into the video you guys already did.

Do the Mark Messier to NYR tree, it ended with Ryan Strome for Ryan Spooner during the 18-19 season.

Thanks Editor!!!!!

Great vid you’re right I was hoping to say we got Mika because of Nash lmao but you proved me wrong

Rick Nash was heavily criticized in New York by fans due to his lack of scoring early on . But He backchecked every shift was always on the penalty kill that year. He had other teammates picking up the scoring too while the opposition was focused on him. His role changed and was an essential piece for the team making it to the final. He was a great ranger.

As a Rangers fan... Pan - air - in. Thank you.

You should do the Henrique-Vatanen trade. It’s a smaller tree but it’s pretty intriguing for both teams
