Well below market value? Haha the market was literally set 5 months ago when Morrisey signed his contract. Nurse can ask for Trouba money all he wants, he's not getting it...simple as that. If Nurse wants to be an Oiler long term why wouldn't he sign a contract with his EXACT comparable. It's not like the Morrisey contract was signed a couple years ago either. If I'm Holland I'm saying either take the same deal or we'll see you in arbitration. Sometimes a GM needs to have backbone in negotiations and not just bend over. Walking one your best assets to free agency to save $600K in cap space for 2 years is beyond stupid

The issue with going to arbitration is that best case it gets you to this spot. There's no long-term deals with arbitration, you can simply choose a one-year or two-year deal and you have to go make cases against each other - which can lead to lingering bad feelings.
If we took Nurse to arbitration, he could use Morrissey as his comparable, and might be given $6MM+ in the hearing and we'd still only have him for two years ahead of him turning UFA - possibly with a chip on his shoulder over the treatment in the hearing.
Nurse also may not feel Morrissey is as good a comparable as you do. Nurse's peak season was last year when he scored 41 points. Morrissey also had his best production yet last year - at 31 points. Morrissey is smaller, less physical, doesn't fight. Their production this year is almost identical, but still - there's an argument that Nurse's camp could make that he does more - especially since Morrissey is getting PP time in Winnipeg this year and has 10 PP points, and Nurse, who's only getting second unit time, has just 3 PP points. Morrissey has 1:56 PP TOI per game to just 0:50 for Nurse while Nurse kills penalties much more (1:55 per game to 1:05).
I don't think I'm known for giving management a free pass on these things, but honestly, I think this is the best case scenario we could have hoped for with Nurse. We weren't getting him long-term without paying a premium - something we can't really afford in the next couple of years. It's extremely unlikely we'd have gotten him for anything less than this, even in arbitration.
