All of this sign him for 3 or 3.5 on a bridge deal by Oiler fans is a bunch of wishfull thinking, Nurse and his agent have to be thinking that he's a top pairing defenseman on that team right now because its a bad blueline and he wants to get paid that way.
I don't think we see him in Oilers silks until a couple of weeks into the season and only afte the Oilers make the move of Sekeras to long term injury or they trade a guy like Kassian for a bag of rocks.

Last week there were some tweets that the Oilers were not willing to go higher than $3 million per year (on a two year deal), and the rumour was that gap between Nurse’s ask and the Oilers’ offer was only $200K
