Unless you give him a full NTC/NMC, there is no reason to worry about Nurse's contract causing salary cap issues until it actually causes salary cap issues because he will be extremely easy to move.
Not sure what you mean but there is no way Kassian would be offered 3.2M x 4 by Oilers or anyone else right now.
Same with Nurse, no way his camp would be commanding 8M per long term anymore
Because foshizzle said so!Wrong on both fronts.

Unless u r his agent your opinion is as wrong as mine
Yes, an Holland would say your 8M ask is trash and I am going to lower my offer to 4M because your client isn't up to par with others.Nope, yours is wrong and have no idea how the business works. An agent is always going ask for max, they don’t base it on the last 15 games. You think Nurse’s agent is going to say “hey Ken, I asked for 8M like 3 weeks ago, but I’m going to ask for less today”? Do you know how negotiations work right?

That is exactly how negotiations work. Do you think AA's agent will ask for 6M per if AA continues to struggle as an Oiler? He may have started at 6M in DET but 15 games can changes things a lot.
But how bout that time his partner got burnt and he wasn’t super man in 2 places at the same time?3 point night for Nurse.
I'm so happy with how Holland played this scenario: let Nurse prove that he deserves a massive contract. This puts Oilers in a position to make an informed choice in 2 years, with no negative outcomes.
This opposed to locking him up, which may have an upside on saving ~$1M (give or take) annually on a long-term contract, but carries a massive risk of another anchor contract.
If the worst-case scenario is that Nurse is such a beast that the team can't afford to keep him, I'll go out on a limb and say that's a good problem to have!

It’s at 30.1% about to break a recordCannot believe how much our PP % has dropped ever since we had to swap out Klefbom due to injury.

This is an excellent point, though I would suggest if Bouchard was in his prime this PP could likely be betterSo there was not a big drop off in production? Hmm almost like the PP runs down low with McD and Drai and the defender up top is just there to pass the puck to those two.

Maybe, I think they are trying not to overwhelm Bear with too much, seeing as he's still a rookie. I think the plan was to use Green there, but that obviously went sideways. It's too bad to, I think Green really would have been of good fit.That is the guy I want on it. Potential to beat this years PP with him out there. I actually think Bear should be on that unit and KLef/Nurse should have their minutes scaled back slightly.
Nah. He just makes dumb plays. Only dman to have that problemAnybody else notice that Nurse made the high IQ interception along the boards to establish possession for the Oilers, which ultimately led to the game winning goal last night?
