Oilers fan here. I think that's reasonable value from the Oilers side, but I can't imagine Carolina wants Nurse with his RFA status being what it is next year. Another year like the year he just had, and I think he's going to demand $6-$7 mil on a long term deal. I think Carolina turns it down.
I think the bigger question is, though, why would they want anything to do with Marc Staal and that contract without serious salary retention? Georgiev is a decent 1B option with potential (and I don't see NYR wanting him to be a part of this equation, anyway), and a 2nd is nice, but I think there are better deals to be made from Carolina's standpoint.
Maybe something like Staal at 50% for Forsberg makes more sense?
