Might want to re-read my post. 5-on-5 and Even Strength are two different things. I said Nurse had one less point at 5-on-5 than Hamilton (it was actually 3 fewer points), and one less than Giordano at even strength.
5-on-5
Hamilton: 27 points
Nurse: 24
Giordano: 22
Even Strength
Hamilton: 32
Giordano: 27
Nurse: 26
Quit while you're not too far behind. Nothing you've posted on this page has been remotely accurate and you've also been talking out both sides of your mouth as shown earlier.
I did miss that, my mistake. So I guess we're just going to ignore a huge facet of the game like special teams production then because Darnell doesn't get any. Talk about talking out of both sides of your mouth
Who gives two craps what the Oilers blue line looked like five years ago? Completely irrelevant.
You say so. The fact it really hasn't improved all that much seems to be relevant.
A player benefits from playing on the same team as the best player in the world. Cutting-edge analysis.
So you agree then? Some people need the obvious pointed out for them.
If you're going to use points to make an argument you should make sure it will actually help what you are trying to say. Nurse was 20th overall in the league at 5-on-5 and 34th at EV, and you're trying to downplay that after you compared him to Deryk Engelland for points-per-game.
Well, I mean he had right around the same points-per-game as Deryk Engelland. So I don't understand how they wouldn't be comparable. He's also had only 1 year of +20pts.
Sure, it's clear what your intentions are. Same with about five other Flames fans who entered in here to post garbage. Nurse was worthy of $5M+ earlier in the thread but now is suddenly only a mediocre #3 or #4. Those players don't get $5M/season. I'm guessing you were just taking Nurse's side when it was reported talks weren't going well and now that the Oilers might sign him after the Morrissey contract you've decided he's actually a poorer player.
On a long term deal? Maybe he would be. It'd probably be close and both long term and short term would carry some risk. Not many contracts in this league don't. I've said many many times I'm not enamored with Nurse, don't really think I'm the only one in Alberta at this point regardless of fandom. But sure, everybody who has a different opinion than you do is garbage and is trolling. Welcome to the internet.
