The hype for Nurse by Flames fans is getting to be a bit much.

Yes, he looks good. Big, physical and smooth skating.

But he's a defensman, and has looked very average to poor in his own end on my viewings so far. That doesn't mean anything long term, but as a defender he has a long way to go with his game before he's labeled a sure fire "great player for them".

Very difficult to make projections like that with defenders because of how huge a part of the game playing defensively is. And we all know in that setting (Edmonton) it's going to be an even more difficult assignment.
