Thats absolute bs/not close to accurate.Easy to say now that Benning is playing really poorly. Nurse was looking nearly as poor on many nights in the past couple of seasons. Last year a lot of his bad play was masked by his limited role and how good the rest of the team was. That hasn't been the case this year. The whole team has been struggling and basically every defenseman outside of Nurse has struggled this year. Benning is probably playing without confidence right now and IMO should've been sent down to AHL a couple of weeks ago as he's a liability out there. Anyway, this Benning vs Nurse discussion was legit last year. It's just that Nurse took a giant step forward while Benning has regressed and is having a big sophomore slump. It happens.
Nurse has never been in the same universe as bad as Benning has been this year. Benning on his very best days has and will always be a marginal NHL'r
