I get that this is CalgaryPuck, and E=NG here, but from what I've read here, do you really think that Nurse is a 5th defenseman on any team?

That's not what I said or am saying.
He's not a good defenseman in his own zone (5th defenseman level). He's elite offensively.
that as a mix gets you a solid hockey player, but not the guy you pay to be one of the best defensemen in the league.
Plenty of non Calgarypuck sources out there pointing out the same thing.
