Darnell Nurse without a doubt.
I really doubted his ability to be our number 1 guy, I didn’t think he had what it takes. But I’ve never been more wrong.
He’s stepped in and been that #1 d man we’ve needed this year. He’s been a horse for us, using his skating to break the puck out, making better decisions, winning battles and using his size to bully people along the boards.
There’s a reason why Tippett trusts him to play with Barrie, who is usually a liability in his own zone.
He’s been a revelation and definitely the 3rd best player on this team. If he wants money, you give it to him if he keeps playing like this .
