from Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun,
Whatever happened to Rick Nash?
Whatever happened to the kid who took the NHL by storm three years ago when, at 19, he became the youngest player ever to win a scoring title?
Whatever happened to the junior sensation with Mario Lemieux’s size and Brett Hull’s finish who GM Doug MacLean was going to build his franchise around after drafting him first overall in 2002?...
“He’s carrying the weight of the franchise and I think it’s affected him—it’s a lot to carry for a 22-year-old,” said MacLean yesterday as his team boarded a Calgary-bound plane for tonight’s game.
