People need to lay off on Darnell Nurse.

  1. I like Darnell, he's good and has some real character and obviously has a great agent!

  2. Guys he protects his teammates. I love seeing him play. I don't see any of you guys out on the ice but your comments. He's very important to his mates and very much loved.

  3. 9.25m is absolutely foolish on a team with Draisaitl at 8.5m. Especially when he frequently gives up on the play defensively. Oilers need to drop him immediately.

  4. “He’s not a 9 mil defend man”……… yet! I agree he is a top 5-10 in general! If he stays healthy Edmonton got a steal compared to what some people are getting and, actually not being great!

  5. IVE BEEN SAYING THIS. People act like nurse is just trash but nah. Yes he isn't 9mil but if he was making 6mil, the haters would be waaay less.

  6. Then I don’t want to hear about how cheap of a contract Leon is on. His underpayment evens out with Nurses overpayment.

  7. He is a good guy and and a decent player. But his contact heavily hamstrings the team to get more help. He and Eckholm weren't enough. In a perfect world we would have a true number 1 d-man for 6-7 per and Nurse would be tird on the depth chart. Eckholm is better, and look at his contact.

  8. “He’s good defensively” he better be… he’s a fucking defence man.

  9. Ah…in a salary cap world, the 2 mill we OVERPAY ANNUALLY could have shored up the d and improved goaltending SOONER and maybe we would be already SIPPIN’ from the silver🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🙄

  10. Whit, you don’t have those same opinions when it comes to alot of other players in the league, namely Leafs. You can rip on Biz all the live long day, but don’t cherry pick.

  11. “If you don’t look at him as a 9 million dollar player” well yeah thats the problem whit… hes a 6 million dollar player getting paid 9, i dont care how you sugarcoat it – reality is he’s way overpaid and not living up to his contract. His defensive mistakes have cost us too many times and his contract costs us an extra 3 million in cap space. figure it out.

  12. I’m tired of the Nurse hate. He’s an important member of the team on and off the ice.

    If they had let Nurse walk, Draisaitl would be walking too. Nurse and McDrai are the 3 amigos and if one of them leaves the chances that the other two leave goes way up.

  13. As an oilers fan Ik everyone loves nurse. But this contract he demanded hurts the team so bad that it hurts his reputation as well. He was one of the guys pouting about not winning and threatening to leave the team and in the end he hasn’t pulled up half his own weight. He talks a massive talk but he hasn’t shown that he can match the walk too. If we don’t win the cup before his contract is up a huge portion of the blame belongs on him

  14. He turns it over and doesn’t play defense especially since his position is what again?

  15. Biz is absolutely a horrible human being, that bullshit he pulled off with Babcock was completely wrong. You’re parents should be ashamed of you!!!
