My question is, why did they have to do this now? It’s inconceivable that Nurse could have a season this year that would raise his asking price higher than $9.25 million per. Why not wait?

Why Edmonton loves TERRIBLE GMs??? Poor McDavid and Draisaitl...these guys will NEVER win a cup playing for this franchise.

This might be the worst contract of the year right here.

If I'm McDavid or Drai, I'm already looking for the exit.
McDavid and Drai are going to have to carry this clown on their back. They should leave and join the penguins. At least the owner will do what it takes for them to win a cup in their lifefine.

Compared to other crazy things KH did this year, this doesn't seem too bad.

You have to pay Canada tax on good players and he's legit elite defenseman.

Take Seth Jones as comparison that signed this year same age, whatever stats you want Nurse is better

Really not so upset about this one, I'm still pretty upset about the Duncan Keith thing though frown

The amount of overpaid defencemen this off season is troubling for the Canucks, as it means Hughes can ask for a lot more.

Why couldn’t have the Islanders done something this stupid? Pelech is an absolute steal now


Its funny because Pelech and Nurse have the same agent

I disagree on almost everything you said. Seth Jones is a much better player than Nurse. He just doesn't play with McDavid and Draisaitl.
Canada Tax...do people not realise these contracts are in USD? Taking all that into consideration, I'd prefer getting paid in USD and buying everything in CAD.
This contract is terrible.

Literally the only good thing about this contract is that there isn't any kind of clause. Maybe it'll change when it's official on capfriendly. I think we all know that whoever is gonna be the next GM is gonna hate this contract and gonna want to move it.

What he really means by "Canada tax" is "Edmonton tax", as "people dont want to live up north so you need to overpay".

Sorry, I meant, "tax" (not literal tax) that Canadian teams have to pay to get people to play in Canada, it's known that many of the players with NMC is just saying I'll play anywhere but Canada.

Awful contract, he looked good this year, like he finally figured out how to play with McDavid and Draisaitl (ie- get them the puck and go to the net!!). but one year of good stats, when you only played 25% of the other teams...is going to skew the numbers...there are going to be major corrections this season....so why lock him up for that much now? How does he outperform this deal? I would take Seth Jones over him any day. How much was he asking for before he got talked down to this?? yikes.
Shouldve been a max 5 or 6 year deal..and less than $7mil- closer to 6.5. This wont age well, even if he manages to put up good point totals the next 3 years....8 is a long time.

Yea I heard about that whole NMC : 'No Move to Canada'
That's sad to hear. I'm surprised so many Cdn hockey players want to stay in the states. Probably one of the many reasons I don't hold pro hockey players in hi regard.

Still another season before free agency. This is exactly why the Rangers should wait before extending Adam Fox. Why pay the guy after a career season? If Nurse has a big season next year, you pay him then. Duh. This is the dumbest possible move by KH. Seriously insane.
