Its not Vancouver homerism, its the fact that he is no better than someone like Myers. He is a liability on defense and his offense is not that good either. If Nurse was a good top 4 dman then Oilers would not have that big of a problem on D.
It absolutely is Vancouver homerism. Or Oiler hate - it certainly isn't objective, you've proven that time and time again you can't be objective about the Oilers.

The Oilers didn't have a problem on D last year with Nurse anchoring the 2nd pair. The Oilers are sort of out a lot of systemic stuff right now, its not all on the defensemen, and certainly not on any one player. Tying it to Nurse alone is pretty ridiculous.

You can make a poll here and ask which dman is better? Nurse or Hronek. At least we will know for sure

There was a point prior to 2019 I was doubling down on the idea that the Blues should trade Binnington and keep Copley. That seriously might be my worst.

I don't know if I ever voiced these out loud, but I thought Rantanen was overhyped and would become just another big bodied middle-six winger. On the other hand I thought Kakko was a sure pick, destined to be a very good 2nd liner at worst. Hellebuyck maybe becoming an average NHL starter with luck etc...

Congratulations, you made a poll. That means nothing considering most HF'ers don't see either of these guys play more than a couple of times a year. Nurse might be overpaid, but he's not nearly as bad as most people think. Easily the most underrated player on HF.

Why would we know for sure based on a poll of HF? The guy sheltered by the reigning Norris trophy winner getting prime offensive opportunities, or the the guy carrying #7 defensemen on his line getting a bulk of the defensive zone starts. Polls can be fun - but they aren't exactly evidence like you are claiming.

You are so biased that its hard to argue with you. Nurse is worst than players like Soucy and even Myers. He is not a good dman.

The people with the worst takes will never admit it... You aren't going to see them posting in this thread.

Mine was that Quinn Hughes would never be a strong playoff player. I thought he'd be too soft and I was wrong.
