Another Source Says Nash Is Staying

I've discussed Riley Nash's possible departure in a few previous posts. One blogger who writes extensively about Oilers prospects reports that Nash is staying:

He's headed back to Cornell at last report and they'll decide (he'll decide) next spring or summer about turning pro.

As I've said before, this is certainly good news for Cornell hockey fans.

The blog ("Lowetide") has been quite bullish on Nash in the past, labeling him the Oilers' #1 prospect at the end of last year:

Riley Nash is one of my favorite Oiler prospects for many reasons: he has a wide range of skills (meaning he can get to the show at more than one position and spot in the batting order), he's intelligent (no flies on Cornell grads, although Ken Dryden might bore them to death) and he displays some independent thinking (unusual in hockey players).

Lowetide also has a comparison of Nash and Chris Higgins which might interest anyone who watched Higgins play for Yale from 2001-03. Higgins was an All-American at Yale and was recently traded from the Canadiens to the Rangers.
