Dunno if any team is willing to do that. C) there could be better guys (IE Parise) that might be available on July 1st and you don't have to give up anything. And D) prolly the most important thing for Howson to consider is, are the guys they're getting back actually wanna play in Columbus? The last thing they need is another Jeff Carter situation where they player don't wanna be there. I really don't think many NHLers say "I would love to play in Columbus!" So therefore, I'm guessing Nash stays exactly where he is.

Good points.
A) That's debatable. Nash will be refresh being on a better team and having a chance at the cup.
B) LA has enough to not miss them too bad.
C) They would like to solidify their playoff spot and improve team overall depending on the actual trade.
D) CBJ can't be worse than how they are doing now and prospects are are easier to mold and be grateful of ice time.
Lombardi can feel the heat due to mediocrity for a long time.

All the trade talk is all good guys. Keeps things interesting and gives different perspectives. All I am saying is I rather the Canucks have an easier road in the playoffs.
Wonder what MG's been up to? Maybe kicking the tires on Allen, Lydman, Gaustad or Moen. Haha.
