08:23 AM ET 07.30 | The beginning of the end for Rick Nash in Columbus may have come while rubbing elbows with the game's top players at All-Star Games and at the Olympic Games. When he began to meet the biggest stars in the game, he started to realize the view beyond his own fenced yard was pretty cool, too. ... There were instances last season, before the trade stuff started, when other NHL players were directly advising Nash to leave. One player tells The Dispatch: "I skated over to him before a faceoff and just told him 'You have to get out of here. Put your agent to work and get it done.'" Many were surprised last February to learn that Nash had asked to be traded. From what I can glean, players around the league were only shocked that it took him so long.

at least have the guts to write which player it was that told him to get out town.
I love the Disgrace's reporting, it really has its finger on the pulse of the fans

It'd be a better story if he was told to get out of Dodge.

So the local paper runs a fluff piece on how it wasn't really the Jacks' (mis)management that caused Nash to leave, but other players in the NHL. Writer subsequently gets a nice pat on the head by the Jacks and gets an extra cup of coffee at the games.
Whee.

Right. I was thinking it was Columbus telling him to get the hell out of Dodge. That would've been infinitely more interesting.
