      Yeah, I say 5 mil at most. While having a defenseman that can score is useful, the Oilers need some shutdown D. Even if those D don't rack in the points but rather keep them out of their own net. The whole defensive strategy in Edmonton needs some serious retooling including the forwards.

    the Salary cap is bullshit when considering you get taxed more in Canada and maybe in some states in America. It makes players not want to play on those teams (also, weather, commute, etc.). Nurse's 9 mill is equivalent to Ekblad 7.5/ Hedman 7.8 in Flordia/Tampa. In the end, that 1mil difference changes everything on a teams Salary cap, and that goes for all players on Edmonton/any team in Canada.

      Nurse's impact can be measured in the same breadth as one measures a 3rd pairing defensemans impact. Nonexistent.
      Meanwhile the Greenway/Eriksson-Ek/Foligno line or GREEF line as it called routinely gets put out there to shutdown opposing teams top lines. Last season that line allowed only FIVE GOALS AGAINST at even strength over the course of the ENTIRE 82 GAME SCHEDULE. The next best shutdown line allowed over 10. No other line was under 10 against last year. They were the only one.
      Since November 22nd the Wild have had the 3rd best defensive impact rating out of all 32 teams in the NHL. Which oddly enough coincides with the GREEF line being reunited after Greenway missed the start of the season due to an injury he had suffered in the playoffs last year.
      Furthermore, his line completely shutdown McDavid and Draisaitl at even strength last night. Their lone points, assists each, came off the PP.
      How's that for impact?

    There needs to be a cap allowance for the teams highest on the no trade list.
    In a cap system it's a huge disadvantage to be a team in a market where nobody wants to sign.
    When Edm did have cap space Holland overpayed in both aav and term just to get ANYONE to sign.
    All the internet chatter is about "WHY DIDN'T YOU SIGN __________?!!" "WE HAD $_________." Yeah, but nobody wants to play in Edmonton. So, you overpay and then are missing one or two contracts which could push a team like the Oilers over the hump to become contenders. Instead we all talk about the shame of wasting generational talent due to mismanagement.
    It's not just mismanagement, it's a regional disadvantage. Edmonton and Winnipeg are the last place millionaire athletes want to live. The weather sucks, there's nothing to do, their wives hate it, there's multiple times less women to have affairs with etc... Anyway you cut it, there's little reason to take the contract unless you're bribed.
    So you take the overpay and then the team can't sign the players they need to be anything other than mediocre even with generational talent on good contracts.
    Darnell is worth 7m if he wasn't the only top pair D Edm has. So you overplay him and burn him out, he looks bad, but it's a larger problem.

      Makar is also making $9 million and is on pace for a Hall of Fame career should he stay healthy. It's a funny joke that Nurse gets paid the same amount, so I say he deserves $3 million for 3 years at most.

    On the clip, it’s a funny chirp.
    On Nurse’s contract,
    Is it an over pay relative to his performance so far in the 2022-23 season and peers in 2022-23? Yes.
    But is it a bad contract? Can’t be answered in Dec of 2022. Which is less than 3 months into the 8 years.
    Nurse took a very team friendly contract after his ELC and a was bridged at a lower number than his value with his extension as the GM worked out the cap hell.
    His $9.25M cap hit will not look so bad half way through as more players will well exceed that figure and the cap significantly goes up by then.
    That figure secures atleast one D man long term as a core member and is paying him back for holding out with his extension. Factoring that in it’s not so bad.
    Currently 7th highest paid D man. But halfway through he likely won’t be top 10. Who knows how far down he’ll be. Karlsson halfway through is still highest paid D man for example. He is also -82 but is .80 points per game. Nurse is +49 but .41 points per game.
    Nurse is significantly better at stopping plays and brings a lot to the team besides points. Again it’s not so bad factoring everything in.

      No matter which way you look at it. No Oiler should get more money than Mcdavid and Draisaitl. Nurse gets good # because of Mcdavid and Draisaitl. He is a B grade D and would be a 3-4 D at a contending team. 6m is the max for Nurse.

    The problem with nurse is his plus/minus. If a goal scoring defensman gets you 25 goals a year then great. The problem being is he allows just as many goals in on his net. He is actually not very good defensively. playing on the supercharged power play with McJesus and Draisaitl. his plus minus for this season should be high than 11. Now you can argue that goaltending is a factor sure, but in his first 500 or so games his plus minus is 49. Compared to someone like Ray Bourque in his first 500 games who also had some goalie issues in those years playing in the same division with NYI and Montreal. Bourque had a plus minus of 250 through his first 500 or so games. Nurse is not a defensive defensemen. I think he misses way too many assignments on the back end, allowing other players to carve up the goalies.
