Larsson's breakout passes have been pretty good tonight.

Jesus Burdasov has a fast first step and good speed

 

[Skolman]

I'm talking about this one thing. I know I wanted Nurse signed after his ****ty 2nd year at that number, I know barely anyone wanted to offer that so early. It's not about bragging that I'm smarter than everyone else. It's just stating facts.

Okay, nice.

So what exactly is your point? The Oilers should have signed Nurse to an 8 yr deal after a poor year, at a cap hit you have in your head?

 

[snipes]

Burdasov has some zip on his shot

 

[CupofOil]

Burdasov can skate well for a big man. I'm a bit intrigued.

 

[PBandJ]

Liking the bit I've seen of Burdasov.

 

[TheNumber4]

You seem pretty arrogant for someone who has no clue whether or not nurse would of signed it.

Your argument boils down to essentially we can't talk about ANYTHING cause we don't sit in on GM/Player negotiations. You take information surrounding the assertion made and you can see if it's possible or not. For example, if I said we should extend Manning 3M/8years right now you think he wouldn't take it? Or you that simple, that you can't determine if a player will take a contract or not depending on his play on the ice?

 

[DerpMorg]

How has Burdasov looked?

 

[Frank the Tank]

As advertised, Burdasov does have a quick release on his shot.

"facts" lol you know nothing

Why the hell would Nurse sign a long term contract at 4M after he had a "shitty 2nd year" like you said instead of a two year "prove yourself" deal at 3.2M which we actually do know he was offered. Dude, just stop.

 

[oljimmy]

Burdasov has the tools and is making smart plays. He's got some swagger, too. Intriguing...

And your argument boils down to stuff you have no clue about, and mine does a bit aswell.

You don’t know if he would of signed it, I don’t know if he wouldn’t of.

Burdasov has some zip on his shot

According to Ben Scrivens (played on the same KHL team I believe) Burdasov's shot would rank just outside the top 10 shots in the NHL. Take that how you will, but that's pretty big praise.

 

[PBandJ]

"Hunter is available for hire for birthday parties.

Yeah, I ain't paying even more in therapist fees for my kids.

 

[snipes]

How has Burdasov looked?

Like a guy playing to make a team.

 

[CupofOil]

No Bob we don’t feel bad for Gillies

Remember Snipes, It's the Battle FOR Alberta not the Battle of Alberta. Bob thinks we should all root for Calgary because Alberta strong or something like that.

 

[48g90a138pts]

I think Burdasov will get signed

My point is that GOOD teams and GOOD GMs make calls exactly like this to build a GOOD team. Signing Nurse to a 4M/year x 8 after year 2 of his career would have looked like a gross overpayment at the time. Just like signing Drai 8.5Mx8 looked like an overpay at the time. But if you know what you have in a player you make that call and it pays dividends in the future.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

This homie shoots the puck.

 

[PBandJ]

Man, Burdasov has some spice to his shot. Gillies is struggling with it.

Thanks for the insight.

Burdasov flashing again

 

[nexttothemoon]

I personally doubt it... I think he may want a little too much $$$$ for Holland to sign him with the tight cap room they have.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Burdasov flashing again

I thought this was wholesome family entertainment.

 

[ujju2]

Kelowna trip will be good for Burdasov and the other guys new to North America I think.
