Darnell Nurse has established himself as a pillar on which this Oilers team will be built. So how will the player and team approach his restricted free agency? SportsnetSpec examines Nurse's value and looks at potential contract comparables:
Nurse’s best qualities are his size, his defending ability — remember how became the shutdown guy for Team Canada at the … world juniors? — and the fact he is one of a small group that are considered the toughest players in the NHL today.
Sure, sometimes a Nurse blast goes in — and he has an above-average bomb. But his value with the puck tends to end as he enters the offensive zone.Celebrating Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada’s 20th anniversary, Sportsnet and Scotiabank unite to bring a 4-day hockey festival to Yellowknife, NT and a 12-hour NHL broadcast to Canadian fans coast-to-coast-to-coast.There is no way Nurse deserves Jacob Trouba money , as a sub-35 point D-man to Trouba’s 50 points and superior puck-moving abilities.
