According to Pierre LeBrun at ESPN.com, the Rangers are unwilling to move Ryan McDonagh and/or Michael Del Zotto in a deal for Rick Nash.

He says that the Rangers plan of attack to acquire Nash is to overwhelm Columbus with prospects like Chris Kreider, Tim Erixon, JT Miller and a first round pick.

LeBrun does add that to make the salaries work, the Rangers would need to send a player like Brandon Dubinsky to Columbus.
