No way. That's absurd. Darnell Nurse arguably has the worst contract in the NHL.
Player Discussion Thomas Chabot (D) Part 2

It was a try to make fans happy because they have not kept or paid anyone for a while.
Never listen to the fans or you will be on of them

I don't think it's that clear cut.
And Nurse is just nastier, we could use that more than Chabot. So even if he is worse than Chabot, he could make our team harder to play.
So is Chabot lol.
Nurse's contract is way to long. It's funny Brady's contract seems like it will end too soon and Chabots is lasting forever......
I also dont think its that clear cut.

Chabot gets a lot of hate here but he really makes things click when he's moving. I think there would be an awful lot of disappointment if he was swapped for Nurse...
oh man. methinks Chabot's gaffes are being overblown. He played pretty well in the Kings game, imo.

I mean, I think that's bullshit and Edmonton has basically been my team #2 through this god awful rebuild, so I feel confident in that, but without getting in to the players themselves, Nurse has 5 years after this one at 9.25 mil cap hit compared to Chabot's 3 years left at 8 mil. It would be so foolish for any team to take his contract.

I don’t think they’re overblown but I agree he had a better game against la
He’s good when he’s moving up ice. Not good in our end.
He looked good in our end too, imo.
Sanderson let a Kings player screen Soogard uncontested, standing right beside him, on the Fiala goal. If Chabot had done that, there would be two pages of critical posts, the Sportsnet highlights would zoom in on Chabby's separation from the Kings player, and people would be lamenting the loss of Branny.

He's good when the games a discombobulated gong show. As soon as it gets organized he gets worse.

Ya that one is a major woofer. There's been numerous threads about how to dump him and there's very little out there that makes any sense for the other team. It made little sense when it was signed and even worse today lol.
Chabot worst contract in the NHL? Not a chance. Ideally he should be a $5 million dollar second pairing guy.

Given the Nurse versus Chabot discussion, maybe this helps.

A lot of the problems with Chabot come down to two things...icetime and the complacency thing. He works best with managed minutes, and hopefully that will happen this year, as we're getting better depth wise. The icewater in the veins....there are definite times when it is needed, but he also has to develop a sense of urgency when that is needed as well. Ice is good...fire and ice is better.

It's possible that the understandable desire to stay healthy has led to the inconsistency in terms of his level of competitiveness on the ice.
For some not really.
Bottom line is the Chabot was and is paid like a #1 Dman which he isn't. He's a second pairing guy that has both good and bad qualities. If he was paid $2.5 to $3 million less per year there would be far fewer people complaining about him.

So far he's been a very "unlucky" player, while also making some bonehead plays.
Has a ridiculous .731 save percentage with him on the ice, of which a vast majority were expected saves. An extremely low PDO, and a good expected +/-. Things will come back to the mean, right now it's very far below it.
1st on the team in CF%, CF% rel, FF and FF% among D.
Team is still controlling the play with him on the ice by a sizable margin thus far
He needs to get his head out of his ass when he has time with the puck, making too many boneheaded plays

Attention to detail is lacking at times too, the waived off goal against is a good example, he's got to tie up the forward there.
Hopefully Green can get through to him, protecting the house needs to be a non-negotiable, they need to bear down more there.
Nurse is legitimately one of the worst contracts in the league. He's played 5on5 with McDrai before Bouchard got there, and only had one season of good offensive production.
For someone who's supposed to be a good shut down guy, he's awful defensively and if he even provides replacement level play, the Oilers may have won the cup. Forget about his contract and length.
I'd rather extend Hamonic for $1 million than have Nurse eat up $9 million in cap space.
