Proposal: Nurse for Bobrovsky

[McOvechking]

The idea just popped into my head and I was wondering if it could be a decent basis for a trade. The Oilers need a goalie in the worst way and they both have hefty contracts. I'm not entirely sure that the Oilers would do it, but then again I'm not sure Florida would do it either, so I was curious to hear from fans of both teams.

Neither team is doing it.

Florida would do it in a heartbeat, getting out of the Bob contract while acquiring a top pairing D for less salary?

 

[ElPrimeTime]

While he is overpaid, Oilers don't have a Nurse replacement at all. Without Nurse, you're running with this D:

Keith-Ceci
Russell-Bouchard
Koekkoek-Barrie

I don't care if you have prime Roy or Hasek, that d is getting shelled.

Maybe eventually, but it’s not happening for a couple years. Eventually well likely have to move him, but he’s playing really well right now and Knight needs more time.

Cool that someone came up with an idea about Bob, though. Didn’t think I’d see the day lol.

lol wut

They aren't giving up their starting goalie. Knight hasn't been good this year.

 

[AslanRH]

Don't see Florida quitting on this season like that unless there is some secret follow up trade to replace Bob

 

[Prairie Habs]

Seems like a no brainer for Florida if they could do that then make a trade for a guy like Ullmark to help transition to Knight.

Hilarious proposal.

And by that I don't mean that it is bad, it actually makes sense and it would have been an atrocious proposal before this season. Neither team can make the trade this season though - Edmonton needs a replacement D and Florida needs a replacement G.

Panther fans ask were is the First and Hollaway?

How about Nurse (+ Koskinen) to SanJose for Reimer + Burns + Middleton.

I would like to see a Nurse Shark.

No thanks rather see the Sharks ride out Burn's contract than to take on Nurses

Both contracts are absolute trash.

It would be a trade for the offseason. Obviously not something Florida would do in the middle of a competitive season.

You think Bob @ $10M is worth Nurse + Holloway + 1st?

 

[Gentle Man]

At 5.6 yes.

At 9.250 no. And certainly not this season.

Plus Nurse's deal still has the full 8 years on it. Bob's is half way done after this season.

as a flames fan i totally support this trade...I am always good with seeing the Oilers downgrading their mediocre d. treading water in Goal and not helping their cap situation one bit...

Florida would do it very quickly.

acquiring a top pairing D

uhhh what?

 

[bsu]

Nurse contract hasn't even started yet...

But what about a slightly past his prime Bobrovsky…??

 

[TFHockey]

Bad trade proposal all the way around.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Awful for the Panthers. Not only is Bobrovsky still playing well, he has 4 years left after this. Nurse's 8 year deal has even started yet.

 

[YP44]

In a vacuum Florida should take this, but when you take a second you realize they need to have another deal lined up for a goalie. Or have Luongo come out of retirement (how awesome would that be).

How porous would Edmonton's D be after this? Bob would have to stand on his head every game, and they sure could not go to the back up.

Florida would never do this. Nurse contract hasn't even started yet and it's trash.

 

[ManofSteel55]

In the last few years, I think Bobrovsky has shown that he can be an elite goalie when the team in front of him is rolling and playing an effective defensive structure. That is exactly the opposite of what Edmonton seems to be doing. As bad as our goalies have been, Nurse has been a rock, and I don't think Edmonton is any further ahead by trading him.

Florida might do it to get out from under Bobrovsky, but I don't think they really need Nurse. Their blueline is sound.
