Everyone on this board thought Slavin signed for too little, again. If you look at the most team friendly deal, you have to look at the most player friendly one as well. In doing that, if Joel Edmundson is 3.85Mm for 4 more years, Nurse is worth 9 easilyThis post doesn't make sense to me, on one hand you seem to be defending him but you also admit to him being overpaid by 4M+ a season?
Jacob Slavin, 10x better than this guy, just signed for 8 years 6.5M and signed the deal 3 years after, only 1 year older than Nurse.
It's an absolutely horrendous contract that might prevent Oilers from getting over the hump. It won't cost them McDrai, it could cost them adding one or two high end compliemntary pieces that could get them over.
The real comparables should be Skjei and Montour at around 7M. That is the level of player that Nurse is.
