Since arriving to the New York Rangers, Rick Nash has been a key component to the team. Although panned for his lack of playoff success, Nash has been one of the Rangers’ most consistent offensive players.
Every players’ production declines after their prime, Father Time spares no one. Nash is no spring chicken at 33 years old. And as we were reminded on November 6th against his former team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, a veteran of over 1000 NHL games.
Yes, every player will enter a decline but Nash’s production seemed to fall off a cliff. It was only back in 2014-15 that Nash eclipsed the 40 goal mark for the third time.
