I’ll be the first to admit I thought that the Riley Nash signing by the Columbus Blue Jackets was a great move. And it still might be. But it has been an utter failure so far in the 2018-2019 season and it’s time to sit Nash for a few games.
The 29-year-old forward signed a three year, $2.75 million contract this offseason after an impressive season with the Boston Bruins. Nash was elevated to center the top line after an injury to Patrice Bergeron and he excelled. He kept the Bruins rolling and racked up 41 points.
