Hearing also we are getting closer on the much-anticipated Darnell Nurse extension in EDM. Expected to come in around 8x$9.25M

It's like Adam Larsson left and Holland just said "(frank) it, we'll give the money earmarked for him to Nurse...on top of what we would've paid him"

Oh yeah, forgot about the conversion. Was it in USD, Canadian, or Monopoly? If it's Canadian then it works out to about $2.5m aav.

Is it that bad in Edmonton they need to seriously overpay and it's just Holland?

It's Alberta, so the currency is Gift Certificates to Blockbuster.

The Pens are shopping Pettersson. Any interest? If not, maybe Matheson?

Umm, I think we'll pass. Thank you for inquiring though. See the secretary on the way out and she'll validate your parking.

And THAT (👆) right there is why you sign promising young defenders to max term deals BEFORE they break out.

Oilers could have had Nurse for 8 years @ 6 per, but alas…

Don't you just love Holland? I mean, honestly, isn't he great? Of course I mean for someone else's team, not the one I cheer for.

Well to be fair, Nurse is pretty damn good and may yet get a bit better. Losing him in free agency next year would have been catastrophic for the Oilers blue line.

But yeah, it’s steep. I don’t think he should be making more than Miro, but I also didn’t think they Oilers should have bridged him to the cusp of free agency. Thus they have reaped what they’ve sown.

Well he arguably isn’t as bad as Chiarelli, buts that’s a LOW (frank)ing bar.

You suggested a trade & I respectfully refused. You then told me to go jump off of a building. So.....who escalated? And I will keep your ball. You can buy it back at my yard sale.
