Nurse has to be up there as one of the worst, it not THE worst, contracts in the NHL currently.

He seems to be worse than ever. Maybe he just wants to spite us all. If I was coaching I’d give him a couple of games off and see what happens. Or sit him until he agrees to waive his NMC.

What's surprising is he still joins offensive rushes without the puck like he thinks he's Scott Neidermeyer.. and is never effective.. joins the rush but never gets to open space.. no offensive threat.. just puts himself out of position and then some hapless forward has to cover his D-spot until he drags his butt back to his zone.. the risk/reward is negative.. but he still does it.. and apparently coaches are OK with it.
Regardless of the contract.. you'd think one of these past years the guy would get personally embarrassed enough to go hard and super train in the off season to get better at his skills .. his shot is a muffin.. he plays the front of the net like a muffin.. surprising lack of foot work agility.. that's all stuff you can improve on.. he seems to process the game pretty slow .. not much to do there.. except learn from experience.. but he's a 11 year pro now.. it is what it is.. he needs to simplify not add complexity.
Edit:
Sorry for the rant Darnell, just think you have the tools to do much better..
