How do you know Nash wont be able to pull high numbers if he had legitimate teammates? Even Kovalchuk playing in ATL for most of his career, had a few legit line mates - hossa, bondra, dupuis, forgot afingenov too! etc.

Ovie had semin, green, backstrom, plus Washington wasn't the worst team in the NHL and neither was Pittsburgh. Crosby as we already know is the best player in the league, there's nothing to really argue about that. I'm not trying to compare Nash to a guy like Crosby, I'm just comparing him to guys around the same skill level and pay.

I have no idea whether or not he would be better if he were on another team with better line mates. We wont know unless he makes a change in scenery.

I'm not saying Iginla sucks, but clearly chemistry is a huge factor for players. Otherwise maybe guys like Jokinen, Stajan and Bowmeester might be playing better.

edit: it's easy to compare when you're only pointing out 1 season. it's already a fact that both carter and nash are having a shitty season.
