His offensive zone awareness is clearly his one big weakness.

I thought he had no lack of offensive IQ? Many have now made that claim this season, and let's not pretend they haven't. I mean, he has some, but it's no where near elite, and I think we can all at least agree on that. And he'll hopefully improve on that.

He's still our best Dman, but he's not great or near elite in the offensive zone in his vision or 'offensive IQ', let's just be honest. But he's still awesome. Pronger's don't come along too often, so I still love Nurse even with his certain limitations (at the moment, or his entire career thus far -- I watched him since he was with the Greyhounds in the OHL, but what do I know about him, I guess).

You just have to feel bad for Lucic at this point, it's just another level of bad right now.

Nurse is like Klefbom. Physical specimen, doesn’t think the entire game that well

At least Nurse can skate fast though. Klefbom is so sluggish nowadays

Splitting up McDavid and Drai does not work. Team looks way better with them together, you can't just give them junk for wingers.

Nurse has some semblance of how to defend and not give the puck away

An injury he's been nursing all season apparently. Probably a groin thing, if I were to guess. Just hope it's not either (or both) of his knees, as that would be dreadful news. We'll find out after the season, I'm sure.
