Again, you are assuming that Nurse agrees that is his value and that no one else in the league would pay more.
We know that Nurse doesnt agree but dont about the rest of the league. That said, I am 90% sure that if Nurse was an FA he would get well over Morrisey. You continue to drop this 600K like it is fact and it simply isnt. Even if they went to arbitration the agent would bring in a long list of reasons that isnt perfect (even if it is) and higher paid, worse, players as his comparables. Now the Oilers get to list all the reasons Nurse isnt worth it? sounds like a great way to end the relationship poorly once that contract is over. At least with this contract there is a chance the Oilers can keep him after.
I do respect your opinion though as there is risk to this deal. One of the reasons I am ok with it is that I absolutely hate arbitration. It almost never ends well, and one of the side ends up super bitter while the other side is only kind of bitter.

I agree with Gator here, I think signing Nurse to a deal that's full value and takes him right up to UFA is crazy. People keep using Morrissey as a comparable, and that's fine if you want to talk about a long term deal, but they bought 6 UFA years with Morrissey, the Oilers got 0. A better comparable, imo, would be a contract like Werenski's that only buys RFA years. 3 years at $5M per for a guy that I think is a better player than Nurse today. And he still has a year of RFA once this contract expires. If Nurse wanted to only sign for 2 years than it should have been in the $4.5M range and if he doesn't than I would have taken him to arbitration.
Unless the Oilers plan on immediately trading Nurse, I dont understand how this makes any sense.

Also a fair opinion, like Gator's. I think this boils down to one's thoughts on arbitration.
None of us know what the Oilers offered long term, what Nurse would actually be willing to accept, what he is actually worth today (or in two years) as an UFA or what he would get if it did go to arbitration.
I hate arbitration and think that it damages everything long term but can see why some hate this deal.
Good talk convo though and I am happy to agree to disagree. Perhaps we will all re-visit this thread in two years and see what actually ends up happening.
