And the on-ice play is very different in comparison to real life.
I mean...I'm not going to tell you that if you put me in Nurse's shoes I'd have done a damned thing differently.
Nurse is a mediocre player at best. 3/4 Dman.
You know who else is giving that man $9.25M/year for $74 Million Dollars?
Nobody.
If someone is offering a player of Nurse's caliber that kind of money you sign on the dotted line, take the cash and start the car! Sure he'll never win anything, but $74M wipes away a lot of tears shed over a mediocre career.
So sure, he's brutally overpaid and I think he's a bad hockey player...but I cant say financially speaking that he's an idiot. That contract for him is like winning a lottery.
Take the money and run.
