Oiler fans might like the 5.6 mil cap hit but is it really a good deal for them?
5.6 mil AAV at 4+ years would've benefited the Oilers, but it's not. It's only until he becomes UFA. So as a bridge deal, the Oilers could've taken advantage of the fact that he's an RFA and sign him for a great deal, but they didnt. They gave him enough to fit him under their cap
So Holland essentially walked Nurse to his UFA years with Nurse getting the most that he could from the Oilers
LOL
