Flyers Showing Interest In Rick Nash

Reports have been floating around all week that the Philadelphia Flyers are looking into the proposition of acquiring Columbus Blue Jackets right winger, Rick Nash. According to CSN Philly's Tim Panaccio, these reports have some truth to them, but it might come at a hefty price. Maybe too much for the Flyers. In order to bring in a super star caliber player like Nash, the Flyers might have to part ways with some of their best youthful talent, which is a very risky chance to take. The asking price may come down to Sean Couturier, Brayden Schenn, and possibly Sergei Bobrovsky who has struggled mightily as of late and gave up three, third period goals in this afternoons loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Another option would be to part ways with James Van Reimsdyk, and a mixture of early round draft picks. The true weakness on the Flyers roster is obviously defense, but bringing in a player like Rick Nash could turn any type of bad fortunes in the other direction. Nash is 27 years old, and has recorded 18 goals, 21 assists this season for Columbus.
The Flyers might only be listening, but imagine a line consisting of Nash, Giroux, and Jagr/Hartnell.... Frightening for opposing defenses... Don't tease me.
