This is a panic move because they painted themselves into a corner. I don't buy that Holland has a plan right now. If the plan was to maximize the next 3 years then they would have protected Larsson over Bear.. Larsson did a lot of the heavy lifting defending and now that shifts to Nurse, which isn't exactly a strong part of his game.i don't think it will take long for this to blow up for the Oilers. The fan base will be on him quite hard like they were with Lucic.
I am predicting Skinner for Nurse in a few years.
