Problem with that is nurse is a time eater defenseman so now you put on the PP all the time his mins go up. they (the oilers)are playing someone who does not have much on ice time as much as nurse. which is why Bouchard is on the PP.
The only d-man you need to upgrade on is Ceci. Honestly, I would be curious if the Oilers could trade Ceci for Myers from Vancouver with salary retained by Vancouver. I think Myers is still a good D-man if paired with Nurse, you'd have to add a sweetener for sure for the retention, but that would be a decent upgrade on Ceci IMO.
Interesting discussion. However, the idea of intentionally limiting a player's output in order to keep his future dollar value down, just sounds dumb. It reminds me of when people say not to take a raise because you'll just pay more in tax. Dumb.
DUDES!!!! Trade Phenurse! Other teams still think he is a good D yet most Oilers fans know he is always on the wrong side of the puck. Nurse is a liability and will cost the Oilers more then 9M. they wont win with Nurse. Bouch has more to offer then Nurse all day long.
Ah yes. Very "clever". The people who come up with these "clever" takes are also the people who were probably loving the Jack Campbell signing. Awful idea, but only the Oilers would think bringing in a single defenceman would solve their issues. This team can't figure out how to score without Connor & Leon. Get a centre who can actually win 52%+ face offs who shoot right to play on the second line with RNH.
This is a good conversationā¦.Iām not a big Bouchard fan and we know he is not good defensively so I would be all in on a trade for Pesci!ā¦I think broberg would be a really good alternative for the power playā¦I love the way he skates and would love to see what he could do on the pp!
I think we could 100% justify a move like that. I understand people getting all hung up on it but the big picture is – we need to win a fucking cup. Nobody should be off limits to reach that end beyond McDrai. Plain and motherfucking simple. Disagree all anyone wants but winning is what we need to do and if that means trading Bouch, Broberg, Holloway… whoever or whatever it takes to win, must be done.
TRADE NURSE! Look at his track record for Goals Against. Heās the single most defensemen who left his post constantly, leaving his side of the net wide open. Iām not even exaggerating on how many times they scored because of that manās own mistakes. How the hell he earned half of what they paid him this year is beyond me, and thatās probably why they wonāt trade him, because they know he sucks as the worst defender in the NHL. However all of our problems would disappear trading Nurse and replacing him with a solid defender.
Ive been saying that since we got beat by Vegas Bouchard is our worst defensive dman Soft as butter too Iād trade him for a good tough to play against dman any day of the week

That is something to debate. I do see merit with it.

Bad idea, Nurse is weak on the puck at the attack zone blue line, please donāt Oilers!
I'd rather see Broberg and pieces going there way to get Pesce. Utilize Bouch's 2 yr 3-3.5 deal to win a cup. Then either pay him or trade him
Bouchard more heads up, moves the puck quicker etc….
Iām basically saying this too. I am in favour of Bouch being traded for this reason as well.
How does this "Bold" move fix the defensive issues? Just Non sense. Bold move would not pay a 5-6 million doller dman 9+million

I assumed it would be an elaborate plan to push Nurse down the stairs and hope he broke both his legs.
Bouch and 7 1st for sieder šššš
Yes do it , bouch doesnt shoot harder than nurse
Rid bouch , ekholm can get pts also

Only chance oilers can win a cup is when they trade mcdavid. Fact
You're stuck with Nurse's contract . In two / three years you need to resign Leon & Connor . At the same time Bouches bridge deal will be up ….

I've never seen Broberg look even close to ready. A Healthy Ceci is a far far better player then he. "One Move" is not going to fix this D.

Soft as butter too

Dump Nurse!
Trade nurse
Nurse for Karlsson
Yes do it. The point man on this PP is irrelevant. You. An put Ekholm on the PP. Iām not a fan of Bouchardās own zone play at ALL.
Nurse and a strong goalie. I'd keep bouchard and train him to be a stronger defense
