If he sucks than he will be used as a thing to shit on us for our terrible drafting.Only if he succeeds. If he sucks/becomes a completely forgettable player it will be memory-holed.

Well if the players we brought in can't do that we're in a world of trouble because Nurse isn't going anywhere.Of course you can create any narrative to support whatever you want to believe. The facts say you’re wrong.
You continually add in irrelevant talking points to try to win discussions. It’s entertaining
Yes Nurse is grossly overpaid. He needs a partner that is able to cover up his weaknesses much better than Ceci could. Ceci might have been the worst possible partner imaginable for Nurse.
Doubtful.
Broberg we are going to be hearing about one way or another for a long time now.
Playoffs don't start today.Well if the players we brought in can't do that we're in a world of trouble because Nurse isn't going anywhere.
Good thing we can now accrue cap space when Kane goes on LTIR. Come deadline, we'll have some flexibility and cap space.
hahahahahahaIf the Oilers don’t match we are a worse team with a trash defence. No way we challenge for a cup with that many bottom pairing dmen.
Ceci, despite sucking, is better than Stetcher, Brown and EmbersonHow do you know that? Based on their performance last season that doesn’t seem to be the case.
He might very well be a great player in the league, but I’m willing to bet it wont happen in the next two years.Agree! thank you
Broberg was a non factor in the season and all of a sudden he has a good run of 10 games in the playoffs and he's worth 4.6MM?
Perry wasn't worth more than the league min. DumbThe 1.4 million to Perry is such a waste. Wish they would have matched for Holloway.
yes...Stetcher was #8 on the depth chart, now vying for a top 4 spot
Ceci doesn’t suck. People are mad he’s not a top pairing guyCeci, despite sucking, is better than Stetcher, Brown and Emberson
Desharnais too
I can guarantee you that the Oilers could've hammered out a deal more reasonable than the one he took. But alas, cap crunch caused by unwise spending by the previous GM and the current GM(s) just assumed that nothing would happen to Holloway or Broberg. Nurse better have a monster year, that's all I'll say about him.
Yeah and there's literally nothing in it about a second rounder thanks for coming out.Which detail 2 separate things.
so now we are back to square one...hoping and praying this thin D corps can hold together for a saviour at the deadlineGood thing we can now accrue cap space when Kane goes on LTIR. Come deadline, we'll have some flexibility and cap space.
Broberg camp's offer was 1 yr at $1.8M, so yeah he would have.I'm not convinced that Broberg was going to take a discount to stay here, he wanted out. Holland/Jackson probably could have signed Holloway earlier, why didn't they?
Nine tenths of the people circlejerking on the mainboards the last week were all calling Broberg a bust for the last 5 years, until he signed that disgusting poison-pill contract. 5 months ago, Broberg had near zero value (at least speculated by insiders).If he sucks than he will be used as a thing to shit on us for our terrible drafting.
As a stop gap until we fill the #4 spot. I'm going to be optimistic and hope that before the playoffs, we have a better defenseman than Cody Ceci in that spot. If we can long term upgrade on the 2RD position, taking the side-step from VD to Emberson or Stecher is fine.yes...Stetcher was #8 on the depth chart, now vying for a top 4 spot
"Fix it at the deadline" is not a solution. That is not a championship level defense.
do you think if he's healthy, he plays ahead of Broberg in the playoffs?This is just factually incorrect.
Stetcher was well ahead of Broberg on the depth chart. He was unable to play.
Okay? And I am telling you what we actually got for this whole ordeal.Yeah and there's literally nothing in it about a second rounder thanks for coming out.
Pivot and fire.Well if the players we brought in can't do that we're in a world of trouble because Nurse isn't going anywhere.
do you think if he's healthy, he plays ahead of Broberg in the playoffs?
If he was healthy Broberg probably wouldn't have played. Broberg played cause Desharnais was struggling and he was the next man up.do you think if he's healthy, he plays ahead of Broberg in the playoffs?
