I'd much rather pay Darnell Nurse 3.2M over the next two years than Michael Stone.
I'd much rather have Michael Stone at 3.5M over the next two years than Kris Russell.
Am I doing this right?

One was an RFA, the other was signed as a UFA.
You're not going to get a 1st round-drafted RFA defenseman without spending significant assets. Re-signing Stone cost only a 5th.
Any GM would rather have the Nurse contract. The question is whether they would be willing to part with two 1sts and another asset to pry Nurse away from the Oilers.
Wow. They're going to have less than $1M in Cap space once Sekera's contract hits LTIR. They basically have to shut him down for the season.
Not correct. Sekera's contract is being counted as part of their cap hit on CapFriendly. The problem they will have is if Pulujarvi gets a majority of his ELC bonuses. Some of that might have to go towards their cap next season.
Stone on the Oilers might be better than anything they currently have...
I don’t know. They think their D is pretty solid.

So this leaves you with 3 true top 4 guys (Larsson, Klefbom, Nurse), 1 guy that can pull spot duty there, but is ideally on the 3rd pairing (Russell); 3 or 4 3rd pairing guys (Benning, Gravel, Jarabek, Garrison), and 3/4 pospects knocking at the door (Bear, Jones, Bouchard, and Lagesson).

If healthy we have 5 top 4 Dmen on the squad. I would still welcome Faulk here.

Really? Stone plays solid in 2 years you make a call to sign or let him walk.
Nurse plays solid you have a long term player looking to make up the money he parted with 2 years earlier. With little choice as he is your young dman. It has making of Dion on the Leafs redux.
But sure since we hate Stone lets ignore that.

Klefbom played like a 5th defenseman last year, he went back to being Captain Bumblepuss after having his career year a couple of years ago.
Larsson was not good last year either and he while being a decent shut down guy has no offense to his game at all.
They literally have nothing there, Bear and Jones are underwhelming when I watched AHL games last year , and if they rush Bouchard and his ankle skating they'll wreck him Ralph.
I think Billy and the Boingers said it best
