Rick Nash’s NHL playing career began with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2002. His front office career began Thursday, with those same Blue Jackets, who 17 years ago made him the No. “He cares deeply about the Blue Jackets and the city of Columbus and will be a great addition to our organization.”A six-time All-Star, Nash retired in early January because of concussion-related symptoms. Until his retirement, Nash trailed only Alex Ovechkin and Patrick Marleau with career goals scored among active players with 437. Nash entered the league at 18 and spent the first nine seasons with the Blue Jackets.
