Nash, who is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent July 1, is open to returning to the Bruins, Matt Kalman of NHL.com reports.
The 33-year-old power forward was acquired in a Feb. 25 trade that sent Ryan Spooner, Matt Beleskey and Ryan Lindgren to the Rangers, along with Boston's first- and seventh-round picks in the 2018 NHL Draft. Given the quantity and quality of the assets it took to get him, perhaps the Bruins will be amenable to re-upping Nash in order to get a longer look at him. His results for his new team were uneven, but Nash still brings good size and a high skill level to the table. Overall, the 6-foot-4, 211-pounder logged 21 goals and 34 points in 71 regular-season games, which included 60 contests with the Rangers and 11 with the Bruins. Nash's expiring deal lasted eight seasons at an average annual value of $7,800,000. He'll be hard-pressed to come close to earning that much going forward, but it remains to be seen just how team-friendly a deal he'd take in order to stick with the Bruins.
