You thrust your pelvis, huh!
As harsh as I am on Nurse, I don't trust the org to get someone better.Ya it sure would be terrible to prospectively get a better defenseman to replace him for the same amount of total cap it.

Who are you getting at $5m/yr long term in a rising cap world that is the answer to the Oilers top 4 woes? I'd rather just attach assets, 1st++, to move the entire contract. Just make a clean break and bring in a real Dman.Ya it sure would be terrible to prospectively get a better defenseman to replace him for the same amount of total cap it.
You called it years ago about that contract being a disaster for the Oilers and might prevent them from winning a Cup.Who are you getting at $5m/yr long term in a rising cap world that is the answer to the Oilers top 4 woes?

The reality is that Nurse isn't going anywhere and the Oilers are screwed as a result.

Maybe but the Oilers have also failed to merely upgrade Cody Ceci and this current management team seems no better (worse even) so..,..easier said than done. I just really really hate dead cap and full retention on Nurse is a whole crapload of that for a long time.Never said anything is an “answer,” but I am pretty confident that Nurse can be upgraded on for $5M at this point.
I think even Stevie Wonder could see that coming. I deserve no credit for knowing what everybody else outside of Kenny Holland knew.You called it years ago about that contract being a disaster for the Oilers and might prevent them from winning a Cup.
We already have 9.25 million of dead cap. 4.6+ million would actually be an improvement.The only thing that would be worse than the Nurse contract is incurring $4.6M+ dead cap for the next 5+ seasons.
This. He’s not even earning half the value of his contract. He’s that bad.Never said anything is an “answer,” but I am pretty confident that Nurse can be upgraded on for $5M at this point.
My friend is inviting me to the game.
Wish me luck boys.
"Just score 138 pts this season, why can't you? Are you stupid?"Knoblauch isn’t inviting you, he’s reminding you to show up for work and get Nurse playing at at least half of his contract value.
Sorry, my sleep deprived brain got carried away. Enjoy the game though!

I mean it was definitely widely praised here at the time. Ken Holland was an utter fool.Maybe but the Oilers have also failed to merely upgrade Cody Ceci and this current management team seems no better (worse even) so..,..easier said than done.

That RNH line will be a special kind of shit and I am a well know RNH fan. I wonder if Janmark is in essence playing himself out of the lineup? Give me someone that can crack some skulls in place of Podkolzin please.Knob is using the lazy "load up line 1" strategy
Draisaitl-McDavid-Hyman
Podkolzin-RNH-Arvidsson
Skinner-Henrique-Brown
Janmark-Ryan-Perry
Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-Dermott
Kulak-Emberson
Skinner
Jeff Skinner has looked good and shoots a ton and he gets demoted
Can't drive a line to save his life, RNH, now 2nd line C

I'm ok with it when it's done once in awhile but put Hyman with RNH to help out the 2nd line.Knob is using the lazy "load up line 1" strategy

Avs are win less and it's...
The GM has to go
Fire the coach
We need a goalie
The dman must be hurt
Everyone's lazy
How dare they steal our excuses
I'd like to see Savioe get a good month or 2 down on the farm first.Call up Noah Philp and maybe Savioe
