mrsasaki Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Curious, I've seen different opinions. Two large defensemen that I'm sure the Oilers are taking a hard look at. Probably the two best defensemen behind Jones although you could argue for Zadorov. Darnell Nurse 6'5" 192 lbs LH Sault Ste.

Warhippy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Nurse. Saw him play the kids get eyes in the back of his head and is so smart on the ice. Added he's mean and of course he's experience on smaller ice surfaces. Nothing against European defenders but it just always seems to me that they take longer to develop the NA style of play, even if they tend to make superior puck possession defensemen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Aerosex Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Rasmus has the potential to be a beastly #1 dman. Gimme the Finn. Both will be solid, well-rounded rough studs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Nurse easy.... I saw him play when I was visiting family in London, ON and saw the Knights vs Greyhounds. He had at least 10 hits in that game and had two assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaku Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Nurse. He's going to be a stud. He's an unreal dman. Got a bit of a nasty streak to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Ristolanen has already been playing with men in Finland and is probably a better overall player. He plays positional well at both ends of the ice and has ability both offensively and defensively. Nurse is the more physical of the two and has the size to go with it. He projects as a punishing defender with offensive upside, but not as much as Ristolanen but still is a good skater for his size. I don't think either would be a bad choice for anyone, both are mobile and good in their own end while being able to add points, just Ristolanen relies on hockey sense more while Nurse is more capable of an outright physical game.

wshdrvvn Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 you can't lose as a GM if this is your dilemma, i'd take nurse just because he seems to be more well rounded than risto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
