Oh man, some of you with your Oiler's level of comprehension.
He made a joke. The joke was that ripping on the Oilers was off topic and the purpose of the thread was to debate the name of the thread, since that was a bunch of the previous posts.

Edmonton Is No Good 7: Pretty sure, based on the first dozen or so pages in this thread, the entire purpose of this thread is endlessly debating and/or complaining about the thread title, with particular attention paid to whether or not asterisks or dots are needed or more appropriate

Thanks for waiting until it was already clear to everyone to explain the joke.

That's the joke.
I was implying that the real topic of this thread was just debating the title of the thread, and thus his was off topic, when in reality, it actually is on topic.

There’s been many positives assurances from the likes of Bob Stauffer of the Oilers radio network that Nurse will be back so no need for fans to worry. Nurse is in Edmonton, practicing with his teammates in informal scrimmages for now and says he’s keen to sign. I’ll stick with that positive spin for the next few days, even as McKenzie says the opposite. I’m assuming Nurse will be back and assuming it will happen sooner than later

And yet it wasn't, because there were still confused posts after the fact.

No. Not even Leon "The Second-Coming of Sam Gagner" Draisiatl can save the Edmonton Oilers
No one can.
No one.

...because they have Glen Gully now. He'll save it.
And if he can't (he can't) then ...
No one can.
No one.

Oooh....so Nurse is 'Best Buds' with McDreamy is he?
How did that work out when he cold-cocked Draisaitl? McDreamy's oft-time winger?
How much of McDavid's contract is Nurse getting? Oh none? Well, that really shines his friendship in another light doesnt it?
McDavid and Draisaitl basically ransacked and pillaged the Oilers' cap space, if they want to come up with cash for Nurse then they're going to have to make some hard calls.
This is what happens when you constantly draft in the Top 10, eventually you have too many guys at the top of the pay scale despite a significant lack of production.
And somehow I dont think there is a monetary value associated with:
"Punching super-expensive Draisaitl in the face."

Don't be silly. They're "best buds", not "bestest buds".

I just can't see any chance of Nurse willing to take less than what Russell is being paid. Would you if you were Nurse?

Free agency problems? People will sign for under market just to be with McDavid
Free agent Kris Russel just got signed for 4 x 4 with a NMC??? I am sure we will have no problems signing Nurse, and the Oilers are cup favourites in 2017-18 since they have McDavid it will be all worth it
Missed the playoffs? Well McDavid had like 50 mysterious illness to start the season, it's no wonder the Oilers missed the playoffs. Next year watch out.
Salary cap problems looming? McDavid will take a home discount to show he is serious about winning.
That didn't happen? Other players will take discounts to play with McDavid.
That didn't happen either with Draisatl and Nurse wants what's fair? Nurse is best buds with McDavid he should sign right away and take whatever the Oilers offer.
I personally love it.

Nurse is best buds with McDavid because if McDavid say's you're buds, then you're buds.
McDavid pulls the strings. Nurse is just a pawn.

It must chafe at Nurse that Draisatl is overpaid.

WTF would anyone on the Oilers even need an NMC for?
