Do have to consider the consequences of trying to set a hard line with Nurse. He's in a very unique positions with McDrai. If talks break to a point where he goes back to insist on a 4 year deal, that has huge implications for the futures of McDrai on this team. Not only because of how all their deals expire at the same time, but also just the fact that you have some negativity surrounding how the negotiation went.
I'm probably being too generous thinking Holland is ONLY willing to bend a little for certain guys on the team, because that is clearly not true. Just have a hard time seeing this play out many different ways even if we had a prudent negotiator at the helm. This ended up pretty close to how it would with many other GM's in the same position. And it's a huge huge deal to keep McDrai and Nurse happy here, in the present, and in 4 years if this team is still not winning. Our failures will be the result of how we play with the rest of the cap space outside of those guys. And there is plenty of cap space to still build a winner if used properly.

You're probably right to an extent, although I think a more clever GM doesn't approach it so much like hard negotiation, as opposed to trying to coax Nurse to leave more behind. Maybe using some of the things like the NMC and buyout poison pill as an incentive - ie. we'd really appreciate some help here so we can build a winner around you, and these measures should prove to you that we want you around to be a big part of it.

Yeah, there is very little clever to be had around these parts :) I think we set ourselves up pretty badly with 2 2 year bridge deals, so twice we decided it wasn't wise to commit to Nurse long term, and now we are just begging for it after Nurse's camp hinting they might want to line up being UFA again with McDavid.
Who came up with the genius call of 2 bridge deals anyways? I actually forgot until Nurse talk started that we just set him up to go to UFA. Doing a bridge leaving 1 RFA year would have been genius in this case. Kinda like it was with Petry, except we had no idea what we had with Petry and decided Nikitin was our 4M price point guy that MacT only wanted 1 of :)

Hey, he also signed Fayne and Ference that summer. How much excellence can one blueline contain?
