I don't have a replacement for him in mind, however I'm not a fan of Caggiula and would not be sad if he didn't return. However, the depth in this org is literal trash. How do they not bring him back? He can put the puck in the net, he is small but plays with grit and isn't afraid to engage. Though, he is a liability on the PK and isn't much of a power play specialist.

Strome should be back. All in all not a terrible 3C, just hope the money matches the contributions. 2.5MM isn't a terrible number.

Benning... anymore than 1.5MM is an overpayment imo, but I don't see how they go lower or even that low. I believe Chia will give him closer to 2MM... sigh.

Which brings me to Nurse. He had a good month of December. He's climbed up the Oilers D chart... which isn't an impressive depth chart. The question here is do his view and the Oilers view on him differ? He likely sees himself as a top 2 d-man on this team, where the Oilers could see him as top-4, and likely as the number 4 man behind Lars and a healthy Klefbom and Sekera. I wouldn't be overly surprised if Nurse is signed for less than 4MM. Or if he's (unfortunately, it would be the wrong decision) the odd man out and used as a trade chip


I'd consider a trade involving Nurse.

I like the player a lot, but I don't think he's got a tonne of upside offensively. Great skater, but not a strong shot (and wastes a lot of softies unscreened - although that might have been coaching) and not a great passer. Strong, bit of a mean streak. Another left shot too.

He's a really good 2nd pair guy, and maybe he evolves in to a top pair shutdown guy. That's valuable, and someone may overpay for it. I wouldn't give him away, but I would definitely be open to a trade involving him if someone were to offer a top-line winger or a right shot guy with more offensive upside (Faulk, Trouba, maybe Dumba).


Sorry to turn this Rattie thread into a Nurse thread buuuut... Like you, I myself like the player a lot. I've always thought "wow, wait till this kid fills out"... he's still a fairly lanky guy and I'm still waiting for that.

He still hasn't reached his potential and he has to know this as well. He's what, 23? He has shown flashes and his best years are in front of him. And that's the main reason I think his next contract will be lower than 4 mil. I look at players with comparable seasons coming out of their ELC (Dumba, Murray, Trouba) and they all signed bridge deals for, I believe, under 3 mil. I envision this to be what the Oilers and Darnell look to do this off season, after Worlds.

If Chia feels he needs to trade a d-man to save some cap, I honestly hope there is some way he can get Reggie to waive. I'm a fan of Russel (not the dollars, but the player. Change my mind icon_wink )
