DeNiro Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I’m sure they would have preferred to get him locked in long term. Im gonna assume he’s still an RFA in two years? Good bridge contract numbers though. Should be making 8 mil on his next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I thought it was expensive at first, but I didn't realize how much better he's gotten. Probably a fair deal. 2 minutes ago, DeNiro said: I’m sure they would have preferred to get him locked in long term. Im gonna assume he’s still an RFA in two years?

He just turned 25 a few days ago, so I actually think this takes him right up to UFA year 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Great deal for both parties. Oilers keep Nurse for two years at a reasonable cap. Nurse gets to be a UFA when done. Plus, 11 million dollars is a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walks him to free agency and right out of Edmonton. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Thought he was half-dead after Bro LouiE bumped into him. Staff, get this Nurse a pink hat & matching uniform! :^) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's surprising. You'd think Nurse would have got less AAV for a player friendly term like that. If I'm an Oilers fan, this deal has me worried in the long term.

King Heffy Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Pretty clear he wants out of that hellhole ASAP. Prob turned down more money in exchange for not sacrificing UFA years. Can't blame him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he could walk on them at the end of his deal is a major risk. Gives him all the leverage in their next negotiation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably serves them notice that he's planning on leaving for an NHL team in a city that isn't a frozen cesspool. Would be shocked if he isn't traded at some point over that deal.

Down by the River Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Nurse is a nasty piece of business. A bit of a hybrid between the old and new school. Good for Edmonton to have him... for now anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I'm sure if it looks like that they can't re-sign him and Oilers look to be out of a playoff spot in year 2 of the contract, he'd fetch a high return at Trade deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it could be a lot worse. They have all those banners in the rafters, one of the most storied histories in the NHL for an expansion team, which includes arguably the greateast hockey player of all time. They also have arguably the best player in NHL currently. Maybe you don't have to kill yourself afterall Monty.
