Makes lots of sense that people want to add a young, top 4, 40 point, minute eating D-man...what doesn’t make sense is that people still want to trade Nurse....

No one wants to trade Nurse, but if it becomes a choice between moving Nuge or Nurse to improve the blueline, I lean more toward Nurse.

I really don't get it. Nurse has some flaws, but the major flaw with Nurse is how much time he has been given. Guy has developed this year and there is no reason to think he couldn't get better. Seems like a guy you keep and try lower his minutes so he isn't trying to do too much.

He is already playing second pairing minutes. Unless your plan is to put him on the third pairing.

I don't like Nurse, the only way I move him is if we are upgrading his spot.

So let's play him lower and easier minutes but pay him more $?

Nurse eating up a 6mil cap hit would be Chiarelli level stooopid

He played first pairing minutes much of the year. He's at 24 minutes a night on the year, far too much for him

He's making 3.2mil a year. Lets play him in the proper position and see if he can develop properly and be worth that 6mil.

Lucic @ 30% retained on July 1st + Oilers 1st 2020 (pick is protected, 1st is given if the Oilers make playoffs, otherwise it becomes a 2020 2nd round pick).

NMC is modified to include Seattle as one of the teams Lucic will accept a move to (current deal already has a modified NTC to allow for trades to select teams for 21-22 season).

Actual salary becomes

2.1 mill - year 1
2.8 mill - year 2
3.5 mill - year 3
2.8 mill - year 4

2.8 mill average actual salary.

Oilers gain 4.2 million in cap space.

A proper position is 3rd pairing minutes make at most 3.5 mill a year
