Jezzz now Nurse a Top D in this league all of a sudden, didn't know that.
lol what a joke
He's not a top D, Oiler fans over sell him, he's got the tool box of a top D, but he's yet to put it altogether, with him still having multiple defensive issues. While many offensive D can get away with some defensive blunders cause of the offense they provide, I don't think Nurse provides quite enough offense to give him as much leeway as you would with a Letang or a Karlsson for mistakes they might make in chasing offense.
That said I don't think Tatar is on Nurse's value level at all and Drouin I think occupies a very similar space to him in being clearly gifted with a lot of tools, but neither are game breakers at present. The difference that slides the value Nurse's way over Drouin is Nurse plays the more important position, is cheaper (although that may change in a year), Nurse is well known as a vocal leader where as I don't Drouin has shaken off his problem child label entirely, Nurse also has the intangibles of toughness, intimidation, and fighting.
