gold star for USAHOF

87. Rick Nash

Rick Nash was the first overall pick in the 2002 NHL Draft and he would quickly prove to the Columbus Blue Jackets that they made a good selection.  As a sophomore Nash would put he puck in the net 41 times, which was enough to win the Maurice Richard trophy for the most Goals in a Season.  Nash would never win that award again but he would have seven more 30 Goal campaigns, two of which were at least 40.
