Hopefully, they do. That's a significant upgrade for Toronto.

I have no words.

Remember Phaneuf? Nurse makes him look like a Harvard scholar by comparison. And is somehow even more overpaid. Worst contract in the league

Oh, Nurse definitely lacks hockey sense - no argument there. That is, however, his games only lacking element. He's a much better player than Rielly.

Dreger was just on TSN Overdrive and said that Matthews, Marner and Nylander had an internal competition "statistically" this year right from training camp.

He then pointed to Treliving's comment about DNA change as wanting to remove that sort of stuff from their culture.

so toxic
this team is literally me vs we mentality.
Can't believe they stripped JT of the C to give it to Matthews.

I guess we know now why Matthews didn't take time off to heal his injury.

What's Freddy the Goat up to these days. Did he develop a mean streak and learn to play like he's 6'5 230 to become that elite 4th line C yet?

I would rather buyout Rielly before I'd trade him for the worst contract in the league. Hell, could easily trade him with 50% retention for someone thats not negative value.

Hard disagree that Nurse is better. Guys barely better than Benoit. Rielly is still at least a middle pairing guy

He’s still cooking. Give him time. Good things require patience

If Haula got a 4th+prospect

Surely once we pay Jarnkrok his signing bonus he's worth a 3rd-4th right?

Is that opening a Jersey C spot for Mr. kampf?

Glad to see he was signed to a somewhat reasonable contract, and not a contract based on being a 31 goal scorer.

Maybe a touch rich, but not out of this world bad.

To Toronto-
JJ Peterka
Bowen Byram

Nurse is at worst an elite 2nd pairing defenseman. He’s more like a mediocre #2.

9.25 is too much, but the cap is rising significantly, and he would probably get 7-8 if he was a UFA this summer.

Well i guess this is where we agree to disagree lol

NHL radio speculated a McLeod return

What do people think it would cost to acquire Zacha?

While we're at it maybe a return to Nashville for Jarnkrok.

 

[Dreakmur]

All his coaches disagree with you too. Over the last 5 seasons, only 8 players have averaged more than 22 non-PP minutes per game, and Nurse is one of them. Only Parayko, Doughty, Toews, Werenski, and Faber played more.

The guy plays a lot in tough situations… for a team that is very successful.

 

[Americanadian]

Very minor note on Edmonton signing Trent Frederic. Their #1 need is widely known. Frederic did grow up playing with a goalie that also plays in the NHL.

Minten and a 1st.

What could they offer, though?

McLeod for Woll could have been a good base for a deal, but it's too late now.

It would have to be futures based and it would have to be both of their prospects (Savoie and O'Reilly). Then the Leafs would have to flip Savoie into a player that helps today.

I'd rather find another team to trade Woll to, TBH.

I completely agree and there are better options. I do think Edmonton calls though.
