C# quickest way to shift array

Question

How can I quickly shift all the items in an array one to the left, padding the end with null?

For example, [0,1,2,3,4,5,6] would become [1,2,3,4,5,6,null]

Here's my test harness...

var source = Enumerable.Range(1, 100).Cast().ToArray();
var destination = new int?[source.Length];

var s = new Stopwatch();
s.Start();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000000;i++)
{
    Array.Copy(source, 1, destination, 0, source.Length - 1);
}
s.Stop();
Console.WriteLine(s.Elapsed);

Here are the performance results for 1 million iterations of each solution (8 Core Intel Xeon E5450 @ 3.00GHz)
