Description

Heard a radio segment on TSN 1260 yesterday and there was a debate on whether Nurse is close to becoming a number 1 defenseman and a top 15 Dman in the league. Jason Gregor said yes while Jason Strudwick said no. I agree with Strudwick as I think all the guys listed here are better and I would trade Nurse for any day (except a handful of the older guys as it wouldn't fit with Edmonton's timeline). This puts Nurse at the lower end of the Top 30. The only ones I wouldnt trade Nurse for are probably Weber (age and contract), and probably Karlsson and Doughty just based on their contracts which would be near impossible to fit under the cap. Thoughts? Is Nurse close to being a number 1? I personally think his ceiling is a good 2 way number 2 D.
