Nash was drafted in the first round by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2007 draft and most fans don't think Nash is likely to stay for a full four years. The main question is whether he'll stay at Cornell for another year or leave this summer for the pros, taking his 13 goals from last season with him.
Van Diest thinks he's staying:
While yet to fully commit, the Alberta native is leaning toward returning for his third year at Cornell University.This follows an article from earlier in the summer on the Oilers' site, which implied that Nash would stay for at least 3 years:
“We don’t want to turn him pro when he’s not ready to turn pro,” Prendergast emphasizes. “We’ll have our prospect camp in July and we’ll have a pretty good idea of where he is at that point. If we feel he’s getting stronger, that’s great and we’ll think about it at the end of next hockey season, and if not, then we’ll wait the four years.”As I've said before, the departures of either Nash or rising senior forward Colin Greening would create some big holes on the offensive side. If Nash leaves, it will be tough to have as good of a season as some people are expecting.
