With regards to Nurse and defensive acumen: Show me a fresh out of junior defenseman who doesn't need to work on that. This is why defensemen are rarely ready as 18 or 19 year-olds, and also another reason why someone like Ekblad is incredibly rare. Both physically and mentally ready as an 18 year old on defense is hard to find.
Nurse will eventually learn the decision making process, especially now that McLellan is there.
