Even in Nurse's best season he still wasn't at a 9.25M level.

He's a #3D being paid and played like a top ten #1 in the league. And he's not very smart.. at all.

A few tools in his box, but total opposite of a "cerebral" player.

It perplexes me when any and all conversations about his contract don’t include the simple question…

“Isn’t the value of McDavid’s ability to make a $2/4/6 million dollar produce like a $4/6/8 million dollar player severely marginalized when you actually pay them $4/6/8 million dollars?”

It’s the perfect Oiler fan backhanded complimentary question.

They have to acknowledge McDavid’s offensive ability, how he is constantly tasked with shining up their turds, and if the Oilers ONLY paid Nurse $8 million he would still be overpaid.

They did send out a tweet suggesting that they would address the signing at noon with a special edition of Flames Talk, which they did.

It makes sense that Brad waited to announce this until Pat returned from France

One of the newer recruits. He's been with the station at least a couple years but in subtler roles.

I think actually "newer" in the sense of on air personalities. I do recall him saying him and Matt Rose started around the same time approx. 8 years ago

If he announced it when Pat was still in France, Steinberg could have had an exclusive in person interview.

maybe its because I only listen in the afternoon but I have found the coverage of late good...fears of fan960 being done were overblown.

Been getting tons of Flames talk in the afternoon, Pat is awesome
