The Columbus Blue Jackets' all-time leading scorer is apparently keen on a reunion.

Rick Nash has the Blue Jackets at the top of his list of potential destinations, The Athletic's Aaron Portzline reports.

The Blue Jackets are showing more interest in the pending unrestricted free agent than they showed at last season's trade deadline, and Nash, who turned 34 on June 16, is looking for a multi-year deal, according to Portzline.

Nash played for Columbus from 2002-03 to 2011-12. He served as the team's co-captain in 2007-08 and was the sole Blue Jacket to wear the "C" from 2008-09 until his final season in Ohio.

He's the club's all-time leader in goals, assists, points, and games played.

Nash produced 18 goals in 60 games for the New York Rangers this past season. He chipped in six points in 11 regular-season contests and five points in 12 playoff appearances for the Boston Bruins after being traded in late February.
