Great deal. Bargain IMO, you could've made a case that he was worth 7,5M+

Holland and Bowman be punching air rn

Nurse be making 9.25 and Jones 9.5mill ooofffff

Makes me think Klingberg and Rielly wont cost that much to extend either based on the last 3 extensions seen.

My guess 6.5mill x 8 yrs each.

Holland is a moron for signing Nurse right after the Jones extension lol. He should’ve waited it out . I bet he could have gotten nurse for 7 mill x 8

Jones got overpaid for sure but I don't think the Nurse deal is as bad as people make it out to be, Nurse is easily worth 8-8.5

I think a Chabot deal would have been the most ideal agreed.

That said im just not sure about him as while he did do well in the Canadian division he struggled in the bubble the previous season against Chicago and at times during the regular season some of his play choices or decision makings in his own zone were questionable at best.

Lets see what Nurse the Oilers get this year as if he goes back to late season 2019-2020/Bubble Nurse that contract is gonna look bad.

Well Nurse is their 1 D so he'll get paid like one, he's also clearly capable offensively and still decent defensively and a good physical presence

I think Nurse’s offense was inflated as a result of playing with McDavid and Draisaitl and he’s not great defensively. It was a career year that fortunately for him led into a pretty clear overpay imo. Especially for a guy that apparently likes playing there, they probably should’ve tried to get him cheaper. I don’t even think he’s necessarily better than most of the recent guys signed (Pelech, Pulock, Ekholm, etc.).

I love Nurse. He's productive at even strength. He's big and strong. He makes plays. I just hated how Ken Holland opted to extend him after a career season. If he regresses at all this season, he could've signed him for less AAV. That's exactly why the Rangers are probably gonna hold off on Adam Fox. They obviously don't want him to regress, but there's no point in signing a player early when his value is at its absolute highest level.

laine has a great preseason from my understanding but if I remember correctly, someone in the CBJ org said we need to have guys who are good defensively surrounding Laine

I think you’re referring to voracek saying that him and Laine need a defensive minded center lol . Voracek is just as bad defensively

That's a suspension for Landeskog, right?
Check to the head into the boards.

imo that's not a suspension, it's a shoulder to shoulder hit but I guess the DoPS actually seems to care about player safety now so it's good

To my eyes Landeskog knew what he was about to do. That was not a bang-bang play on the ice. That might have factored in.

yeah, I can see how that's a dangerous play but imo, that's a 5k fine, sometimes hard to tell too with how wacky the DoPS is
