4th straight game at the Edmonton Old Folks Home. 8 pm start too. I'm fully expecting another loss and I have to wake up at 4 am tomorrow.

'It's only preseason' they said..As bad as the 0-3 start is it’s the 3-15 stat that should be worrying people. We aren’t competitive at all by the second half of the game. Even last night we were tied after 2 periods only to give up 3 unanswered goals in the third period. We aren’t a bit of puck luck or a good bounce from turning this around. We are getting destroyed by every team we play. I’d be satisfied with competing at this point. We aren’t going to start winning any games until that starts first.

How long before Nurse starts getting booed at home? I feel like he’s about a month away from getting the Tom Poti treatment.
At least Tom Poti had a moveable contract.
Nurse is a huge problem.
He has an NMC. He isn’t even earning half that contract right now. It’s also buyout proof.The worse he plays the more movable that contact becomes.
He's currently playing like a $1M player, so if we retained half his deal and moved him we could upgrade to a legitimate ~$5M player in his place without using any more cap space.

There is very little in the way to make this contract moveable regardless of how he plays.
PLUSf*** you're right I forgot about the NMC.
For sure someone would take him at 50% off, but that team probably wouldn't get him waiving it.
Our 2025 first ro....oh.PLUS
what do we have that we can add to entice someone to take him?

The only thing that would be worse than the Nurse contract is incurring $4.6M+ dead cap for the next 5+ seasons.The worse he plays the more movable that contact becomes.
