Hold out never made much sense... Made more ridiculous after the morissey deal. He's just not that good.

That's a good deal. Either Nurse was drunk, or Chiarelli must've aimed a loaded gun at his noggin.

Not even Darnell Nurse can save the Oilers.

No one can.

No one.

Given they wanted to pay around $3m, signing at $3.2 means Nurse caved, not the Oilers.

You might be hearing it in your head wrong. Read it slowly in James Earl Jones’ voice. Gives me goosebumps every time.

Missed opportunity to hamper them to the tune of 800k AAV. He'd have signed a 2x4 offer sheet, obviously, which would have been totally worth it to any Pacific team whether they matched or not (they would have).

Hilarious, Josh Morrissey is a far better dman than Nurse with a way higher ceiling. Chiarelli still managed to pay more. LOL.

Nurse's camp probably said during negotiations that whatever Morrissey gets, he wants $50k more to look better than him.

Nurse should've held out for a more and at a longer term. I just don't see him cashing in like PK Subban did.
