  PHILADELPHIA -- The Dallas Mavericks had to work hard for an easy win. cheap jerseys . Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 points, Shawn Marion had 22 and the Mavericks beat undermanned Philadelphia 124-112 Friday night, handing the 76ers their 10th straight loss. The Mavericks led from the start and never trailed, taking a 22-point lead and staying ahead by double digits most of the game. But they had to earn this one. "It was exactly the kind of game we expected," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "We expected it to be 48 minutes of hell with them chasing the ball all over the place. (Brett Brown) coaches his team harder than any coach in the league." A day after dismantling the roster and trading away Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes and Lavoy Allen, the Sixers had just eight players in uniform. Thaddeus Young scored 30 and Michael Carter-Williams had 25 for Philadelphia, which has looked toward next season and beyond since training camp. "They played hard," Brown said. "Were trying to identify athletes and how they compete." The Sixers, who have the NBAs second-worst record, made four trades before Thursdays deadline, giving up three players and a draft pick for five players and six second-round draft picks between 2014 and 2018. Theyre hoping for a top-3 draft pick and trying to clear space under the salary cap to make a run at quality free agents. "Were focused on building something for Philadelphia to put a program in a place to compete when it matters," general manager Sam Hinkie said. "And we feel that yesterday was just another step in that process." While the Sixers eye the future, the Mavericks are making a playoff push. Theyre in a tight battle with four teams for the final three playoff spots in the West. "They have a bunch of fast, athletic guys," Nowitzki said of Philadelphia. "Give them credit. They kept competing." Nowitzki hit consecutive 3s in the opening minutes. The Mavericks were up by 22 after Vince Carter nailed a 3 late in the first quarter, and made 16 of their first 21 shots. Sloppy play and a slew of turnovers by the Mavericks allowed the Sixers to make a run in the second quarter. They pulled within 55-50 following an 8-0 run and trailed 69-62 at halftime. "We knew they would make a run," Marion said. "They have talented guys. We kept our composure and were able to sustain the lead." After Philadelphia closed to within 77-73 in the third quarter, Nowitzki nailed another 3, the Mavericks scored nine straight and put the game away. At one point, Nowitzki and Marion were a combined 17 for 19 from the floor. Nowitzki made his first five from beyond the arc before missing two straight. Carter-Williams, a leading candidate for Rookie of the Year, Young and injured rookie Nerlens Noel are cornerstones for Philadelphia going forward. Young was disappointed he didnt go to a contender, but wouldnt let that affect his performance. He had 13 rebounds and took a career-high 29 shots, making 12. "This situation, I dont know how much worse it could get," Young said before the game. Young became just the second player to have at least 30 points, 13 rebounds, seven steals and six assists since steals became a stat in 1973-74. Hakeem Olajuwon had 38 points, 17 rebounds, six assists and seven steals along with 12 blocks for Houston vs. Seattle on March 10, 1987. Turner, a former No. 2 overall pick, and Allen went to Indiana for veteran Danny Granger and a pick. Hawes was traded to Cleveland for Earl Clark, Henry Sims and two picks. Eric Maynor came from Washington along with two picks from other teams. Byron Mullens was acquired from the Clippers with a pick for a protected second-rounder. NOTES: Carter-Williams had his eighth game of at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. All other NBA rookies have eight combined. ... The Mavericks have won 13 of last 16 games vs. Philadelphia. ... DeJuan Blair had 18 points and Jose Calderon had 10 assists for Dallas. ... Maynor was the only new player in uniform and available. ... The Sixers already waived Clark. ... Granger showed up to Pacers practice Friday to say goodbye to former teammates. ... The Mavericks had 39 assists, their most since 40 vs. New Orleans on Nov. 11, 2003. cheap jerseys from china . After a stellar Royals debut in a relief role on Friday, Paulino will make his first start of the season this afternoon and try to pitch his new club to a series victory over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Kauffman Stadium. wholesale jerseys . Still going strong, the great No. 32 is back where he belongs. "Here I am," he said. The Hall of Fame running back, who was estranged for years from the NFL team where he starred in the 1950s and 60s -- after his previous role was eliminated by former president Mike Holmgren -- was welcomed back to the Browns on Wednesday by new owner Jimmy Haslam. http://www.cheapauthenticjerseyschina.net/ . -- Just about everything had gone as planned for the Golden State Warriors at home this season until 11:26 remained in the fourth quarter against the Utah Jazz on Saturday night. (Sports Network) - The Chicago Cubs will renew their rivalry with their NL Central-foe Houston Astros this afternoon in the opener of a three-game series from Wrigley Field. The Cubs took two of three meetings with Houston from April 11-13 at Minute Maid Park and have won five of the last nine matchups between the two ballclubs. The Astros went 11-7 in last seasons series with the Cubs. Chicago salvaged the finale of a three-game series versus Pittsburgh with Sundays 3-2 win thanks to Starlin Castros go-ahead sacrifice fly in the bottom of the third inning. Castro plated Kosuke Fukudome, who doubled to lead off the inning and went to third on Darwin Barneys sacrifice bunt. Aramis Ramirez homered and Koyie Hill drove in a run for the Cubs, who improved to 3-3 on the nine-game homestand. Cubs starter Ryan Dempster gave up two runs over six innings to earn the win. Dempster was great, said Cubs manager Mike Quade. It was just a good win. We played good baseball. Rodrigo Lopez will make his Cubs debut Monday and was 6-1 with a 2.59 ERA in 10 starts for Triple-A Gwinnett. The right-hander was acquired last week in a minor league trade with the Atlanta Braves for pitcher Ryan Buchter. Lopez made 33 starts for Arizona a year ago, compiling a 7-16 record with a 5.00 ERA, and is 1-2 in four career starts against Houston. Lopez is expected to throw to catcher Geovany Soto, who was acctivated from the disabled list on Sunday with a groin injury. cheap nfl jerseys. Houston will begin a seven-game road trip Monday against the Cubs and Padres, and was swept in three games by the Diamondbacks over the weekend. In Sundays 4-2 loss at Minute Maid Park, starter J.A. Happ pitched well in the no- decision and held Arizona to a run over six innings. Happ also homered for the first time in his career. At some point, weve got to find a way to win those games, Happ said on the teams website. Thats the way it goes. A tough one today, a tough series, but weve got to keep fighting and see what happens. Relief pitcher Jeff Fulchino was saddled with the loss for allowing three runs in the top of the eighth inning with the Astros clinging to a slim 2-1 lead. Hunter Pence had two hits for Houston, which went 2-4 on a six-game homestand and lost for the 10th time in 14 tries. Taking the mound for the struggling Stros Monday will be rookie Aneury Rodriguez. The righty is 0-2 in 14 games (5 starts) this season and last pitched in Wednesdays 2-1 win over Los Angeles. He did not record a decision that day and held the Dodgers to a run in six innings of work. Rodriguez has lasted at least five innings in the past five trips to the mound and will make his first start against the Cubs. He has faced Chicago twice in relief this season, pitching 1 2/3 innings with a 5.40 ERA. cheap jerseys ' ' '

  LONDON -- Two days after Sebastian Vettel won his fourth Formula One title, the spotlight shifted to Londons High Court and the latest case that leaves the motorsports series boss Bernie Ecclestones future in doubt. jerseys from china . The longtime commercial head of F1 is already under investigation in Germany over an alleged payment of $44 million relating to the sale of the racing series in 2006. A German court wont say until next year whether the 83-year-old Ecclestone will stand trial on charges of bribery and incitement to breach of trust. German banker Gerhard Gribkowsky has already been jailed for taking the payment from Ecclestone. Gribkowsky was in charge of selling the bank BayernLBs stake in F1 to investment group CVC Capital Partners. Now at the London trial that began on Tuesday, former F1 shareholder, German media company Constantin Medien, is suing Ecclestone and three other defendants for up to $144 million, claiming F1 was undervalued at the time of the sale. Ecclestone -- estimated by Forbes magazine to be worth $3.8 billion -- was not at the High Court but is expected to give evidence next week. Philip Marshall, representing Constantin Medien, accused Ecclestone of making a "corrupt bargain" with Gribkowsky "to facilitate a sale of the Formula One Group by a purchaser chosen by Mr. Ecclestone in return for remuneration (for Gribkowsky) and a position (for Ecclestone) relating to Formula One going forward." To that end, Constantin Medien is claiming it lost out due to the deal negotiated by Gribkowsky. Gribkowsky is a defendant in the case along with Ecclestones lawyer, Stephen Mullens, and the Ecclestone family trust, Bambino Holdings. Ecclestone and Bambino benefited by more than $1 billion from the sale of the 47 per cent stake, according to Marshall, figures that gave F1 an enterprise value of more than $3 billion in "stark contrast" to the actual value of "just in excess" of $2 billion at the time of the sale. "We see this transaction as being significantly weighted for the benefit of Mr. Ecclestone and Bambino, and significantly to the detriment of BayernLB," Marshall said. Ecclestone is accused of paying Gribkowsky $44 million from 2006 to 2007. "A variety of means were used to conceal the fact the payments were made," Marshall said. Marshall said the judge would have to decide whether the payments were corrupt and if they resulted in the stake being sold at a "significant undervalue." Robert Miles, the lawyer representing Ecclestone, said Constantin Mediens claim "lacks any merit." "This is an artificial, manufactured, complaint," Miles said, insisting there was "no conspiracy" and Constantin "suffered no loss." Miles said in 2006 it had been arranged that Gribkowsky would be given a "consultancy package" and Ecclestone received "tax threats". Ecclestone built his powerbase in F1 from the 1970s and helped to create the Formula One Constructors Association that controlled the business side of the series, including selling the TV rights. The British-based company later became known as Formula One Management. It has fought regular tussles with the teams over finances, but has retained control of the global motor racing extravaganza. CVC, having amassed a 63 per cent stake of F1, has reduced its holding as other investors have come on board in recent years, although a planned flotation has stalled. Ecclestones holding has been diluted to about 5 per cent. cheap jerseys .ca! Kerry, I appreciate the insight that you give to the game and the different perspective that we as fans do not get to experience. My question is about the Rangers/Devils game on Monday night. nfl jerseys china . And fans of the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs will have to wait a little longer to see those teams meet again in the post-season. http://www.wholesalemlbcheapjerseys.com/ . A solution, however, was easy to find. "Everybodys tired," joked Indians manager Terry Francona.DAVOS, Switzerland -- Glen Metropolit hasnt played an NHL game since 2010, but on Thursday, the oldest player on Canadas Spengler Cup roster showed why hes the captain of the Canadian squad. After nearly scoring on his first shift of the game, the 39-year-old Metropolit -- whos played for Lugano in the Swiss league the past two seasons -- picked up a goal in the first period and assisted on Derek Walsers game winner in the third as Canada opened up the Spengler Cup with a 5-4 victory over the HC Vitkovice Steel of the Czech Republic. "Even at his age, on the blue-line and in the offensive zone, hes still one of the best players in the game in Switzerland so thats where hes going to be really good for us," head coach Doug Shedden said. "Hes played for me before and thats why I made him captain. This could be his last Spengler Cup and his children are here visiting from Florida. "Its just something that gets him excited about playing." Byron Ritchie, Micki DuPont, and Alexandre Bolduc also scored for Canada in a back-and-forth offensive game that saw leads slip away between both teams four times. Rudolf Huna, Peter Huzeka, Roman Szturic and Lukas Kucsera scored for Vitkovice. Vitkovices Filip Sindelar was the busier of the two goaltenders, stopping 37 of 42 shots in the losing effort. Canadas Chris Mason made 18 saves. "We were outshooting them pretty good all night," Shedden said. "We really ccarried the play against them. Cheap Russia Soccer Jerseys. " Ritchies goal tied the game at 4-4 at 7:58 of the third period, and Walser beat Sindelar off passes from Anthony Stewart and Metropolit at 13:47 to pull Canada ahead for good. Bolduc opened the scoring with an unassisted goal at 2:30 of the first period, but Kucsera responded with a goal for the Czech club team less than two minutes later. Canada took the lead again on Metropolits goal, and Vitkovice replied to take a 2-2 tie into the first intermission. The second period proved costly for Canada when a turnover gave Vitkovice a 4-3 lead 11 seconds after DuPont tied the game 3-3 on a power play. Shedden said the mistake could be chalked up to unfamiliarity between his players, whove had just one practice and one morning skate together before their first game. "The problem was we gave up some easy scoring chances off some miscues and thats going to happen with guys who havent played together, and it happens every night anyway if you have played together." Shedden said. "I thought their goalie really kept them in it because we really crashed the net all night, and it showed the heart of the Canadians. "We were down going into the third period and we thought we were playing well enough, we just had to keep at it and we did that. You work hard enough eventually youre going get rewarded with a couple goals." Canada plays host HC Davos on Saturday. cheap jerseys ' ' '

  December 25, 2014 9:55 PM MST

  INDIANAPOLIS - It was just before 2pm local time when the Raptors landed on game-day, five hours prior to tipoff and 38 hours after they were originally scheduled to touchdown in Indianapolis. jerseys from china . Creatures of habit, the Raptors were expecting to fly out after their previous game - a hard-fought loss in Miami on Sunday - practice on Monday and shoot around ahead of an already daunting match-up with the league-best Pacers, a team they had defeated at home a week earlier. Instead, Mother Nature threw them a curveball and they had no choice but to adjust. A major snowstorm and frigid temperatures in Indianapolis resulted in the altered itinerary, a reasonable excuse for a team that has vowed to stop making excuses, and to their credit they refused to take the bait. "We can have all the excuses in the world, but in a game like this you have to man up and bring it," Dwane Casey said after his road-weary club dropped Tuesdays sluggish rematch with the Pacers 86-79 in snow-covered Indianapolis.  "Its a mans league. I expected us to have a little bit of a hangover with the bullcrap with the travel but I thought we put ourselves in a position to win. Now weve got to close the deal." Not one Raptor player would use the teams travel nightmare as justification for the loss; they would barely even acknowledge it in the visitors locker room post-game. It was the type of easy out they used to fall back on, almost routinely. This time they did what winning teams do. They owned it. "[We] had the opportunity, but didnt make shots," said Kyle Lowry, who had 16 points to go along with just two dimes, his lowest assist total since November 11th. "They beat us. We were a little bit off, schedule off, routine, but still had a chance to win, so cant really say it messed us up too much." The loss was just their fifth in 15 games since the trade, dropping a game below the .500 mark. "We came out a little sluggish, had a couple turnovers at the beginning, shots werent falling for us and we got out-rebounded," said Amir Johnson, coming off his worst outing of the season. "Theres your ball game." More often than not, the Raptors were a step slow against a team that prides itself on pounding opponents into submission, especially at home, where theyve suffered just one loss. Toronto was out of sync, looking nothing like the club that stunned the Pacers at the Air Canada Centre last week. The Raptors managed just 18 assists, failing to reach 20 dimes for only the fourth time in the last 15 games. They were out-rebounded by 17 and bested by 14 in the paint, 11 in second-chance points. True to character they nearly made something out of nothing, cutting their deficit - once as big as 17 - to six down the stretch before eventually succumbing to the home teams punishing brand of basketball. "Guys were just a little bit off from their rhythm," Lowry said. "Not making shots, just the timing of everything was just a little off tonight." DeMar DeRozan scored the teams final 17 of the third quarter and finished with 28 and Patrick Patterson - playing in place of Johnson - had 11 of his 20 points in the fourth.  Johnson was not himself, finishing scoreless on five attempts in just over 20 minutes of action. Battling a cold on top of the travel snafus, the Raptors forward struggled through fatigue, looking out of breath on a couple of occasions in the first half. With Patterson playing well, Casey opted to ride the hot hand and sit Johnson in the fourth. Jonas Valanciunas also had an off night, held to just four points in 32 minutes and outplayed by Pacers centre Roy Hibbert on both ends of the floor. The team checked in and out of its Miami hotel three times before eventually taking off for Indianapolis at 11:30am Tuesday morning. There, they spent less than an hour at the hotel before boarding three busses to Bankers Life Fieldhouse, skipping shoot around and putting a dent into most of their game-day routine. "Youve just got to get your body going," Johnson said before the game. "After sitting down for a couple of hours, youve got to [stay active]." "Adversity sometimes comes in different ways," Casey said. "Its a good character builder for us. You hate to be against the best team in the conference but it is what it is." cheap nfl jerseys . CC Sabathia pitched six innings in the start for the Yankees, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out seven. The New York bullpen shut down the Tigers from there, tossing three perfect frames. wholesale nfl jerseys . -- Dmitry Kulikov had a rough start and a smooth finish in his first game back for the Florida Panthers. http://www.cheapauthenticjerseyschina.net/ .com, talks between the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox in regards to manager John Farrell continued on Friday.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The streaking Tampa Bay Rays havent missed a beat since losing Evan Longoria. With their star third baseman sidelined for up to two months with a tear in his hamstring, the AL East leaders completed a four-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners on Thursday and own the best record in the major leagues at 18-8. "We talked about getting off to a good start, and we got off the good start we needed," manager Joe Maddon said after a 4-3 victory over the Mariners extended Tampa Bays winning streak to six. The Rays have won 11 of their past 12 games and hold the best mark in baseball for the first time since Sept. 28, 2010. "Baltimore is playing well. Toronto is playing very good. The Yankees are fine, and the Red Sox are going to keep getting better," Maddon added. "We needed to get off to a good start to really make out mark in the division." Longoria left after the third inning of the series opener. Elliot Johnson replaced him and delivered a game-winning RBI single in the 12th inning. Luke Scott and Sean Rodriguez had big hits during the series, and Thursday it was Jeff Keppinger and Desmond Jennings turns to step up. Keppinger hit a two-run homer and added a two-run triple to back right-hander Jeff Niemann (2-3), who allowed three runs and seven hits over 5 2-3 innings. The bullpen didnt allow a hit the rest of the way. "It was a great team effort," Maddon said. "Everybody played, everyone participated, everybody has a piece of the ownership right now, and I like that." The Mariners concluded 10-day, 10-game road trip with a season-high six-game losing streak. The skid came right after a four-game winning streak that included a sweep of Detroit to begin their three-city trip. Tampa Bay won three of the four games at Tropicana Field by one run, and took the other by two. Tough ballgames, tough losses,"t; Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. cheap jerseys. Were just not quite doing enough to finish off innings to take that lead back, especially on the road." The Rays scored all of their runs in the second inning, with Keppinger and Jennings delivering the biggest hits of the day off Kevin Millwood (0-3). Reliever Jake McGee retired all seven batters he faced, and Fernando Rodney worked a scoreless ninth inning for his ninth save in nine opportunities for Tampa Bay. The inconsistent Mariners struck out eight times, hiking their total in the series to 46. They have been held to 12 runs during their skid. Millwood retired the first two batters of the second inning before giving up an infield single to Will Rhymes and Keppingers second home run of the season. The next two batters, Chris Gimenez and Sean Rodriguez, singled and scored when Jennings tripled to right-centre field for a 4-2 lead. The Mariners got one of the runs back when Dustin Ackley doubled with one out in the fifth and scored on Ichiro Suzukis double down the right-field line. But Seattle continued to struggle with runners in scoring position, stranding the potential at second base in the fifth and sixth innings. John Jaso doubled leading off the sixth, but Niemann struck out Mike Carp and Justin Smoak. Niemann departed after throwing 107 pitches. McGee fanned Michael Saunders to end the threat. NOTES: Tampa Bay CF B.J. Upton sat out after leaving Wednesday nights game after the fifth inning because in his right quad muscle. The Rays dont think the injury is serious. Jennings shifted from left field to centre field and Brandon Allen started in LF. ... The Mariners have lost eight straight games to Tampa Bay. ... Seattle flies home to open a weekend series Minnesota on Friday night. LHP Jason Vargas (3-2) gets the start against RHP Carl Pavano (1-2). cheap jerseys ' ' '

  ST. cheap jerseys china . LOUIS -- The St. Louis Cardinals put utilityman Matt Carpenter on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday because of a strained right side muscle. Carpenter was batting .288 with three home runs and 20 RBIs in 39 games with most of his starts at first base in place of injured Lance Berkman. Carpenter is the fifth player the team has put on the DL this week, following Jon Jay, Allen Craig, Kyle McClellan and Lance Berkman. St. Louis has seven players on the DL altogether. "Its part of the gig, I knew that going in," manager Mike Matheny said. "Theres a twisted side of most of us that when those challenges come up its hey, you kind of throw your shoulders back a little bit further and here we go." Rookie Matt Adams made his fourth start at first base Wednesday against the Padres. Carpenter was hurt coming out of the batters box on a double in the first inning Tuesday. The Cardinals were optimistic after the game that Carpenter might miss only a few games because he was able to torque his body and didnt feel much pain. "The MRI showed something in there," Matheny said. "I think hes got a really high pain tolerance to where it just didnt seem like it was that big of a deal, but it is." The Cardinals purchased the contract of catcher Steven Hill from Triple-A Memphis. The 27-year-old Hill has also started at first base, left field and right field, and homered in consecutive games Sunday and Monday. "Hes been swinging the bat pretty well and has a little bit of versatility," Matheny said. "It seemed like the choice for the time." Third baseman David Freese was back in the lineup after sitting two games, a mental and physical break for a player in a 3-for-34 slump. cheap nfl jerseys .

"Its eating me up inside.The New York Rangers completed a long-awaited deal for a proven scoring winger, sending four assets to Columbus. Numbers Game breaks down the Rick Nash trade. The Rangers Get: LW Rick Nash, D Steven Delisle and a conditional third-round pick. Nash, 28, is a seven-time 30-goal scorer, but Nashs 59 points in 2011-2012 represented his lowest total since 2006-2007 and his minus-19 rating was his worst since 2003-2004. Since 2003-2004, Nash has scored 272 goals, which ranks fifth in the league over that time (behind Ilya Kovalchuk, Alex Ovechkin, Jarome Iginla and Dany Heatley), so hes going to arrive in New York with high expectations, but Nash will also have a better opportunity in New York, where he could play with a proven playmaking centre like Brad Richards, who is a substantial upgrade over any of the pivots that Nash lined up with in Columbus. Nash has six years remaining on his contract, which comes with an annual cap hit of $7.8-million (per www.capgeek.com) and while that is a significant financial commitment, the Rangers are getting Nash for what should be productive years, from age 28 through 33. The likelihood of playing with better players should keep Nash scoring at a high level. There may be some drop-off in the last few years of the deal, but as long as hes surrounded by a strong supporting cast, a power forward with Nashs size and skill should remain effective throughout. Despite making the Eastern Conference Final last season, the Rangers had trouble generating offence at times, ranking 11th in the league with 2.71 goals per game, but then managing 2.15 per game in the postseason. With last seasons leading goal-scorer, Marian Gaborik, due to miss the first couple months of the 2012-2013 season as he recovers from shoulder surgery, the Rangers had an obvious need for a scoring winger. Delisle is a 6-foot-6 defenceman who turns 22 next week. He spent most of his first pro season in the ECHL, so his inclusion is more about moving a contract than any kind of on-ice value that he might provide for the Rangers. It seemed, pretty much all along, that the Rangers were best-equipped of the teams on Nashs approved trade list to put together a viable offer with at least four assets going the other way. After moving out a couple of NHL regulars, the Blueshirts will have opportunities open to earn regular roles. Certainly one spot will be ear-marked for Chris Kreider, the top prospect who joined the team in the playoffs, but there appears to be room for another prospect or late-summer acquisition to earn a regular place among Rangers forwards at least early on, while Gaborik is sidelined. The Blue Jackets Get: C/LW Brandon Dubinsky, C/LW Artem Anisimov, D Tim Erixon and a first-round pick. Dubinsky is a 26-year-old forward who finished with a career-low 10 goals and 34 points in 2011-2012, yet was a career-best plus-16 while facing tough checking assignments (per www.behindthenet.ca). A two-time 20-goal scorer who played more than 20 minutes per game in 2010-2011, Dubinsky plays a solid two-way game with an edge and is one of nine players to have at least 50 goals and 250 penalty minutes over the past three seasons. Hes also won 52.2% of his faceoffs over the last five seasons, which would be an improvement on a scoring line for Columbus. Dubinsky does figure to get an opportunity in a scoring role for Columbus, as the Blue Jackets only have one 20-goal-scorer (LW R.J. Umberger) returning from last season. Dubinsky has three years, with a cap hit of $4.2-million, remaining on his contract; reasonable value if he can recapture his offensive form. 24-year-old Artem Anisimov has 34 goals, 80 points and a plus-15 rating over the last two seasons, nice enough complementary offence, but he could have a more significant opportunity awaiting him in Columbus. cheap jerseys. No ones going to suggest that Anisimov is a player at Nashs level, but their even-strength scoring wasnt dramatically different last season, with Nash putting up 38 points at even strength and Anisimov finishing with 32. When you factor in that Nash played a couple minutes more per game at even strength (14:58 to 12:44) there isnt such a massive difference. In fact, Anisimov had more points per 60 minutes of even-strength play last season (1.91 to 1.86). There are quality of competition (and teammates) issues to consider and, again, Nash is easily the superior player, but if Dubinsky and Anisimov can produce with increased offensive roles in Columbus, they could offset a decent portion of the lost offence and Dubinsky should offer defensive value as well. Anisimov comes with a cap hit of $1.875-million for the 2012-2013 season, after which he will be a restricted free agent. The best long-term value of the deal, from Columbus perspective, may be 21-year-old blueliner Tim Erixon. He played a limited role in 18 games with the Rangers last season, but was impressive in the American Hockey League, scoring 33 points with a plus-5 rating in 52 games for the Connecticut Whale. Erixon is ready for an NHL role, but joins a crowded Columbus blueline. He could move ahead of young defencemen like John Moore and David Savard on the depth chart, which also might give the Blue Jackets some ammunition to use in future deals. With first-round pick Ryan Murray and veteran free agent Adrian Aucoin joining a defence corps that already included Jack Johnson, James Wisniewski, Fedor Tyutin and Nikita Nikitin, Columbus has a lot of NHL-calibre defencemen in the organization. The first-round pick is okay value, but not likely a huge difference-maker, particularly if it falls in the bottom third (which seems like a reasonable expectation). For more, check out the updated first-round pick value column I wrote here. After months of waiting, the Blue Jackets ended up with a deal that seemed like it could have been achieved right from the start, but their hands were tied by Nashs no-movement clause, which limited the market to a select pool of teams which Nash approved. Given a limited market, and dealing with general managers that recognized that limited market, Columbus eventually made a reasonable move. The names coming back arent headliners, but the Blue Jackets had the worst record in hockey with Nash last season, so its not like they are going to fare dramatically worse. Its easy enough from the outside to suggest that Columbus should have been able to hold out in order to get elite prospects or young players (like Kreider, or Derek Stepan), but with an established objective of acquiring at least four assets in the trade, and Nash having final say on the destination, the Blue Jackets took a deal that they likely could have accepted at any time since they decided to trade Nash. In that respect, it feels like Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson relented in his demands, but if none of the teams in trade discussion were going to offer a first-line talent (say Logan Couture or Joe Pavelski from San Jose, or David Krejci from Boston) in return, then there comes a point at which the Blue Jackets had to move on and accumulate assets that will help them build in the post-Nash era.
