Rick Nash had difficulty sleeping Monday night after it became known that he had asked the Columbus Blue Jackets to trade him.

"I'm not too sure what to expect," he said Tuesday in his first public comments after it was revealed he had asked to be dealt. "I've been with these fans my whole career here.

No matter what the reception is I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for our fans." Read more: http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/7...columbus-blue-jackets-fans-turn-trade-request
