You're not getting Connor for Nurse.
Connor is a two time 30 plus goal scorer who the Jets used to jump start other lines. They value him highly.
So was Hall. 40 point dmen don’t grow on trees.
So we are trading a guy that doesn't grow on trees for what reason exactly?So was Hall. 40 point dmen don’t grow on trees.
Yep. And if I recall correctly, that roster didn't have a Connor McDavid on it.His career high is 56 points, a couple seasons ago.
I think his stance is that he doesn't believe Nurse is a consistent 40P D, especially on this team going forward, and he thinks we should trade him when his value is highest rather than giving him a long-term contract.So we are trading a guy that doesn't grow on trees for what reason exactly?
I can't see all the old f***s who run that team right now buying into his nonsense. There's probably going to be a massive roster overhaul before the wheels start moving the right way in Anaheim.Dislike him as a coach but good for him and his family. He earned it.
Plus if he’s a tire fire it benefits the Oilers.
Eakins probably wants him back on the Oilers too, would make his team winning against us easier.I really really really want yakupov back on the Oilers now. Give Eakins the finger when he scored against the ducks.
Eakins must be having the bike ride of his life on the way back to San Diego to pack up his stuff.

Still keeping an eye on Burakovsky.
Are you really using Chia's ****ty trade to defend your position?

I imagine he's got one of those bike trailers filled to the brim with bananas and mangos, a can of macro greens and a small battery powered smoothie blender.
Officer; have you been drinking sir? you were swerving into traffic....
Eakins; Only smoothies, sir.
Officer; ....how many smoothies have you had?

I don't necessarily disagree that Nurse likely won't be a 40P D when he loses his spot on the PP, but I sure as hell don't want to trade him away for a winger. I could see something like Nurse ++ for a better top pairing RHD making sense, but thats really the only trade that makes sense with Nurse. I'd rather keep all 3 of Nurse, Klef, and Larsson, while slowing integrating our young promising D prospects into the line up as the Russell and Sekera contracts expire. My goal would be to bring in one D each season for the next 3 seasons and ship out Benning/Russell/Sekera over that time for some forward depth. I think the most likely is we see one of our AHL guys/Persson break in this year. Bouchard breaks in full-time next year (maybe midway through the season this year), and then Samorukov a year later (or midway through next season). Russell and Benning are the first two to go in order to make room, and Sekera gets to be the baby sitter partner for each of the young guys as they break into the league until his contract is up or he is surpassed by 3 guys on the depth chart.
Still keeping an eye on Burakovsky.
Out of the 30 defensemen that scored 40 points or more Nurse was 24th in % of points scored on the pp. Compared to most of the other scoring Dmen he got most of his points even strength.
It would be sheer and utter lunacy to think about trading him unless he was in a package that brought back something very special.
Too be fair reimer is trash too.Wow, Matty giving the goods. A classic "take our trash for stuff we can use" deal. Very news worthy.
Add L.A. to the list as well I guess.I was just thinking the same. We're never going to win a game against that team.
Too be fair reimer is trash too.
Mostly a trash for trash trade
The Oilers are going to lose multiple games to Dallas Eakins next season aren't they.
