With a contract this big, expectations are high that you show your elite. Nurse had an exceptional season this year, but it was a short season in a weak division. He's now a major eater of cap space and better be that reliable 25 to 30 minute per game defenseman.

Kenny, in his infinite wisdom, has accounted for this eventuality.
You see, for his skill and his contract no other team is going to want to take him.
So he is an Oiler for life. No more Schultz and Petry embarrassments!
The Edmonton Oilers are like the Soviet Union...a perpetual embarrassment obsessed with not being a perpetual embarrassment.
The eternal Lemniscate.
