Perhaps you think the team would be better if the Oilers had kept Bear and traded Nurse?
Probably NHL GMs and coaches would think differently. They keep paying and playing guys like Morrissey, Carlson, and Rielly that have similar XgA/60 as Nurse.
We can go back and forth all day, but if you really believe Nurse's defensive ability is 3rd pairing/7th defenceman calibre and you're not just posturing, we really aren't going to make any headway.

I, for one, am happy they are paying Nurse over $9 million per year.
I get your point that offense gets paid (ala Morrisey or Carlson), but even then, the number should be somewhere between $6.75 and $8.5 and you still would need to shield your eyes in the D zone.
