Great deal for the team and the player.

A complete steal for Calgary.

If my math is right with the current “expected” 23 man roster with Nurse unsigned the Oilers only have 4.5 million left in cap space. Ouch! Not much room left to sign Nurse. Probably gonna have to sign him to a 1 year 2.5 million dollar deal

It will be close. Only hope really is that he signs for a 1/2 year 3.5 contract. In a way this issue can be tied to the Griffin Reinhart disaster; Chia wasted good picks for a slow bottom line dman when he could have drafted Barzal or even a handful of decent dmen who would all be capable of jumping in right now on cheap elc's, or maybe trade those picks for a dman who can actually skate... So after that wasted trade, he is forced to resign Russel to keep the defense looking somewhat respectable, and now Nurse finds himself short of a couple million which is tied up in Russel's 4mil-ish per year deal.

Good cheap signing. I thought he would go for 6x6
