Initial reports was Nurse wanted 8 mil per?

discuss...

Could be a sign and trade scenario.
Leafs wanted him under 6 for whomever they're sending back.

This guy is just sad that his team has 9 wins and blames the old GM. lol

Stop being a homer. Holland is the worst GM of the cap era by many, many kilometers. Are they still paying Stephan Weiss?

You want to give him even more $? Chiarelli is that you?

Instead of just reading a stat sheet, try watching some games. Hows Kris Russell doing?

Anyone can make a 6 foot pass in their own end, watch Mcdavid go end-to-end and rack up assists.

The truth is Nurse does very little to threaten offensively. He’s a half decent defender who gives up the puck a lot and he can hit and fight.

On a team that’s been starving for good D for a decade, they’ll do anything to keep half decent ones around.

It's a fair deal in line with Werenski and McAvoy, one year later. All the contracts are gonna come in at this range, I think it's kinda smart for Holland to get him in as low as they can right now considering their cap trouble, it will let them weather the storm a bit. Plus, I think they're still not sure what Nurse is and this gives them a few more years to figure it out.

Peter Chiarelli says hello.
He never met an average player he didn't want to lock up long-term - with an NTC to boot

How does a two year bridge deal show the rest of the league that players want to stay there long term?

Sucker to A 🖊 is! For satisfaction and A first 💋

Zucker is signed to a very reasonable deal. I have to think that played a huge role in Rutherford wanting him. Adding him to our Top 6 for the next few years is fantastic.

Marino made it a hell of a lot easier to trade Addison.

don't really think zucker is worth a first round pick, let alone the 5.5 million in cap space he just ate up on the pens for the next 3.5 seasons. plus they gave a prospect and whatever return they could have got for impending ufa galchenyuk? probably a 2nd round pick.

Overpayment by Pittsburgh.

Galcheunyuk would have cost a 2nd to dump his contract.

Not really. A pick that will likely be in the 20's. A defensive prosoect that is small in size. Addison may be great or he may bust. John Marino made that decision easier. Zucker is a good player. Chuckie sucks...

if the pens were to give up a 2nd to burn the last half of his contract that is up at the end of the year, your gm should be fired.

Yeah, he didn’t. He used him to get Zucker instead, so there’s that.

zucker is nothing special.

You're forgetting Ken Holland is the GM. Take the perceived value and instantly add 1-2 million to it.
- DRW1991

Kenny doesn’t overpay for players. Just ask Abdelkader..... 0 goals = + 4 mil a year.

Weiss has got to be the worst signing I’ve ever seen. Krupp was horrible contract but injuries played a huge part in that debacle. Weiss was just Dog Shart for two years.

Maybe in October. A few weeks for the deadline he's just the money in / money out for a team that's accepted selling off.
