I love how Nurse gets blamed for everything but no one is saying anything negative about Emberson. What a joke.
Emberson is a bottom pairing D playing top4. He's making league minimum so it easy to be okay with it. Nurse is on his way to becoming unserviceable. The guy is lucky he is McDavid's buddy otherwise he would have been shipped out long ago

The problem is this dumbass management thought a dude with 30 games under his belt could compliment Nurse's erratic game for some reason
I'll cut Nurse some slack since he missed most of training camp...but Emberson ain't the answer
never has, never will be

they needed a vet like Ceci, but better

Lots of have said negative things about Emberson but the 900k guy with 30 gp should get some more rope than the 9.25 defenseman with the same consistent issues for years.

There are some very staunch defenders of Nurse here, mostly clinging to "but he was good in the bubble season!"

The truth is, the guy is massively overpaid and requires a very specific partner to look decent.

Even Ekholm bumping him down a pairing hasn't helped much.

That's what annoys me the most about Nurse. Yes, he's very overpaid, but at this point in his career, how the f*** can he still need sheltering or a partner to babysit him? It's just inexcusable for a guy who also has a 'A' on his jersey.
f*** Matheson. Just retire, dude.
Hehe, right? Traded away Ceci for reasons = but the Oilers maybe should get him back at the trade deadline. Yet here's Matheson who once had the audacity to call Leon 'pissy' saying another dumb ass shit. f*** off, Matheson.
