Fantasy Analysis

It was just a few days ago that Nash's side and the Blue Jackets seemed far apart on a new deal, but the two parties got to work and hammered out a deal. It's a tremendous weight lifted off Nash's shoulders heading into the '09-10 season. Nash set the club mark with 79 points (40 goals, 39 assists in 78 games) in 2008-09. Since the Blue Jackets traded up to take him with the No. 1 pick in the 2002 draft, Nash has been the face of the franchise. He shared the Rocket Richard Trophy for leading goal-scorer with Calgary's Jarome Iginla and Atlanta's Ilya Kovalchuk in 2003-2004. He's been a productive All-Star the last three season. He does it all for the Blue Jackets and only seems to be getting better. Consider Nash a must-own Fantasy forward Draft Day.

Advice

Nash, who would have been an unrestricted free agent after next season, set career and team highs last season with his 79 points (40 goals, 39 assists) in 78 games in leading Columbus to its first trip to the playoffs in the franchise's eighth season. He has become one of the most popular professional athletes, and no doubt relishes the chance to help the Blue Jackets rise to elite status in the NHL.
