They’ll probably do this thinking Ekholm will make Nurse a $9.25 million dollar Dman.
He still doesn’t have Barrie’s puck moving acumen, so… it’ll be a lot of heavy lifting for Mattias.
I would think trying him with Bouchard makes more sense, because he still has the ability to learn/grow from his mistakes.
It’s funny that despite their wagon of dominance and “being the team they’ve waited for” they don’t have the wiggle room to buffer a bit of learning/growth for a 23 year old Dman.
Nurse is what he is.

Which one is it?
Jesse the Real Deal or the expectation of a completely NHL ready 18 year old player?

Oilers fans and paid fans (media) suffer from such extreme opinions.
I’ve been told 3 times already that ekholm’s wife likes snow. And Holland is brilliant because of this.

People who say they like snow are into skiing and such. Stuff where the snow is white, not yellow.

I'll stay say it again, I still think there's an argument to be made that there's a realistic chance that they miss all together, THAT would be something.

Let’s stay positive. At any point they’re prone to lay several eggs.

Yes, probably starting tonight, against the Jets. A team the Flames need them to beat.

Typical Oiler media pom pom wavers. Team makes a couple of lateral roster moves and suddenly they're Cup favorites, lol. Adequate goaltending and good health might get them through one round, provided they also getting a great deal of help from the officials. But they still won't get anywhere near the Cup. Either one of Dallas, Colorado, Vegas, LA, or even Minny would take them out in 6 or less.
