Lastly, let's just say this was his ask and the Oilers simply walked away, or traded him for futures, pre signing.
How would you go about a D group that has been constantly somewhere between bottom 3rd in the league at best to god awful at worst, for over a decade?
If you take Nurse off this team without replacing him with a equal or upgraded player the Oilers are proper F'd.

This is why I don't think Nurse is much of an overpay. If Nurse and his contract magically went away, I don't think the Oilers can replace what he does with those dollars. Maybe the market for Nurse isn't 9 million dollars, but he's a lot closer than a lot of us were willing to admit. *IF* he's overpaid, according to the market, it's by less than a league minimum player and if he were to sign next year when the cap goes up, it wouldn't be an overpay.
To quote Oscar Gamble, "They don't think it be like it is but it do". Wise words.

Exactly.
Outside of my responses to other peoples thoughts this is the crux of my point. Finding an elite defensemen is perhaps the hardest acquisition to make in the NHL. When you have one who is good but not elite you need to pay to keep them.
The acquisition cost, be it by trade plus extension, or FA to upgrade Nurse would be a greater hit to the team.
Before my first response I was curious about UFA d signings. I got back a handful of years and didn't find even one that was a better (arbitrary) player than Nurse.
The Oilers would be screwed without him.
