Would you prefer if your team had roughly matched Ottawa's offer for Ullmark and signed him for 4x$8.25M at age 31? If you live in a tax free state you can say you'd have signed him for 4x$7.5M.

I mean obviously no because we have Helle, but I think it's a decent move for teams struggling with goaltending

I think he'd be worth it on the Oilers but I can't see a scenario where his cap hit could fit.

I don't think he's worth sacrificing any of McDavid, Draisaitl or Bouchard for. RNH absolutely but would require him to waive his NMC

The only real question mark for Edmonton going into the playoffs is goaltending.

I’m surprised you’d keep Nurse over someone like Ullmark.

I'd like to emphasise this current version of Nurse.



I believe he was leading the league in that span. With the disaster that last season was, his play this year has been completely under the radar from the rest of the league's fanbases. He's been playing elite

I mean if he can play well for Ottawa, chances are he can play in Montreal or Toronto. That's worth something. It's a good goalie.

8.25 millions though, that's to be answered on a longer term.

Actually watching the player instead of going on whatever narrative is online helps in this situation. Nurse has been our best defenceman this year.

He’ll always be overpaid, but he’s played great.

It has less to do with Nurse and more to do with Skinner and Pickard.

Voted no, don't really need him on Habs.

But - the contract is mostly fine. Usually, it's not AAV but term that scares me with goalies. I like the 4 years
