Probably the same dipshit that voted that MacKenzie Weegar in their poll for what player had a bad season not caused by the team strugglingWait. There is a vote for Shesterkin, but none for Josh Anderson or Brendan Gallagher?
You're pointing out other overpaid players to try and make Nurse look better.I’m simply pointing out that when you look at what other guys around the league are getting, Nurse is a 7+ million dollar defenseman. We’ve reached a point where there are bottom pairing dmen making 4-5 per, and pretty much any legit top 4 dman signing a new deal is getting 6+.
Vlasic is basically a bottom pairing dman at this point and makes 7 million. How do you figure Nurse is more overpaid?
I think the main reason Vlasic isn't higher on the list is because it doesn't have that many years remaining and The Sharks are tanking anyway.That's silly. Was this off the top of their heads? Or are they assuming 2024 playoffs Nurse is whom you're getting from now on?
Nurse is probably a $5-6M per year D-man in today's NHL. You roll him out to eat a bunch of minutes and the team will be relatively fine with him on the ice. The Oilers, with Nurse and without McDavid on the ice has, for the past several seasons, been a plus team 5v5. They're not dominating teams, but he's not a negative out there for the team. You put him out there and forget about him.
Meanwhile, Vlasic has been unplayable since he got injured in 2018, and he makes $7M per year for two more seasons. He was a healthy scratch on the goddamned 2023/24 San Jose Sharks. Nurse is overpaid by like $4M. Vlasic is overpaid by $7M.
Man, THN is such an awful site. Clickbait and ignorance.
Vlasic is one of the key reasons why the Sharks went from contender to bottom feeder - $7 million and an NMC for an immobile, non-physical, poor defensive defenseman with zero offensive capability. Maybe without the boat-anchor that was Vlasic, we can keep some of the offensive depth we had in 2019 (Nyquist? Pavelski wasn't staying and that was the correct decision given the information available at the time) and maybe find a decent goalie.Vlasic's contract is fine because the Sharks are trying to lose and he's helping them lose.
Problem contracts are when the team's interests and the players' performances do not align.
Between Nurse and Huberdeau, Nurse's is definitely worse when you factor in the negative impact each player's play has on his team.
That's hyperbole. Nurse is an NHL defenseman, he's just not as good as his contract suggests he should be.JH is a 50-60 point getter at worst.... Nurse shouldn't even be in the NHL.
Nurse is going to the end the year -30, -40 and oil fanboys will still be here saying the same thing.
Edmonton should call Vegas for advice on how to get rid of that contract ASAP.
