You're just upset that the Oilers have a number #1 and the Flames best is a #4.
Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] Darnell Nurse signs extension with the Oilers (8 years, $9.25M AAV) PART II

Even Calgary guys are sick of bitching about this. It is what is is and move on at this point. Love it or hate it Holland got his man.

So sick of it they try their best to keep the thread going. Some losers would be better off staying on calgarypuck.
Uh no, we all don't agree that Nurse is not a #1 Dman and the term is definitely not too long. The AAV is about a $1m or so too high, yes. 8x8 would have been perfectly fine for him considering the market, even a bit higher than that would have been fine.
He has taken big strides in his game every year so I don't see why he'd all of a sudden regress. I predict that there won't be much complaining about his contract by the end of the season.

Glad you are happy with your slightly over paid #1 dman then. Thats really all that matters. I hope you are just as happy at the end of the season as you are now. All is good.

I said he's overpaid but well done on the sarcasm, very edgy.

It's a lot of pages but maybe two pages worth of actual content, repeated. It seems there are many who love to poke at Oiler fans and many Oiler fans who like to poke back

This league is going down the toilet, when a player like NURSE signs for 9.25 mill a year there is something wrong with the league, good for him for getting it, but there lies the problem he is not worth no where nears that money and a lot of others getting way overpaid like marner and matthews and tavares from the leafs and its just a few i just named and a lot of others around the league, and this league is a gate driven league, there is deffinitly a problem for the future of the NHL, time will tell.....
The salary cap is tied to league revenues so what you are saying doesn't make a lot of sense.

Nurse was absolutely a number 1 d-man last season. He will have to continue to play like he did last season for the Oilers to gain full value on the contract.

I'll give you the money, and I would say it's closer to $1.5M, the term is just fine.

Well I have taken quite some time to think about this. You either pay Nurse this or he walks. I think him walking is way worse than him being overpaid.

This contract has more to do with keeping Mcdavid/Draisaitl than anything. Having Nurse signed for 4 years passed their contracts is a great way to convince them to stay if things dont get any better.

Jealousy
people still whining and crying that Nurse is overpaid
time to move on folks lol

If you think the window has slammed shut why bother following?
What are we supposed to do, sit here and wallow in self pity and rag on the team all year? This isn't the DoD.

Yup. Especially on the big ice and his previous solid play with Hockey Canada.
His size, elite skating, and physicality will be a benefit for Team Canada. He's just entering his prime now, I think he'll have an inside track on a spot if he continues his solid play into this season.
