NHL Trade Analysis: Rick Nash Shipping Up To Boston

The New York Rangers continued selling Sunday morning by trading Rick Nash to the Boston Bruins. Trade details are listed here. With this many pieces, impacts can become more uncertain.

Boston rids themselves of the bad Matt Beleskey contract (though they have to retain half). Salary retention more or less washes out in this transaction. The Bruins trade Ryan Spooner, who has shown as much promise as frustration. Trading a first round pick stings a little but that will depend on how far Boston advances in the playoffs.
