Which brings me back to Nurse. Sure, I get the selfishness of wanting and getting a higher amount of money but in doing that, and taking an inflated number, you really hinder your GM in making improvements to your team.

A really good GM would act like Belichek and get buy-in from players, convincing them that we're going to build a championship team here and that they benefit from leaving a little money on the table. Tampa Bay did that with both Stamkos and Hedman ahead of their first Cup. They gave them a strong pitch as to why they should re-sign for less than top dollar and both not only agreed to do that, they did so without ever even testing the market.
The Oilers management are so low confidence that they don't want to promise anyone championships. Not the fans, not the players, maybe not even the owner. They always try to win people over with the top dollar, not realizing that there's more to it than that, and that if you don't at least project that you've got a lot more to offer than money, then people will pick somewhere else, even if it means leaving money on the table.
I know that the management group thinks it's because of the weather, or the fans, or even the media, but mostly players want to win, and so they go to teams that project some level of belief that it's going to happen there.
I don't blame Nurse at all for taking the money. I blame management for not convincing him he didn't need to take it all. I mean, they still had another year to make that case too...
