Not just for your money. For everyone’s money outside the OBC brain trust and fans outside of Edmonton. Nurse projects to be Phaneuf with less offensive instincts.

Phaneuf had way more early career success than Nurse has had. Nurse's main assets are his his skating and size. His skating gets him into trouble trying to be Bobby Orr and the only time he uses his size is when he jumps people who are either smaller than him or not ready to fight. He is at best a #4 who needs a strong partner to keep things together on the ice.
Rasmus' main asset on the other hand is how he thinks the game. It slows down for him when the puck is on his stick and he rarely makes terrible plays. I also believe his offense will come. He scored a great goal the other night and a few games before that made an amazing offensive zone pass to Dube that showed his patience and vision.
He's understated because people who don't watch h play simply look at his points so far in the NHL.
