..People hate Nurse, in big part because his salary doesn't match his play, but Broberg wasn't pushing him out or down the lineup. And he's paid too much to be your third pairing LD..

People don't hate Nurse.. but they do notice he plays crap defense.. and his cap has caused the loss of players.. past and future

There are definitely some that have gone from overpaid to hyperbole related to his play.
He's 100% overpaid, and his contract is probably fully unmoveable between trade restrictions and just sheer size compared to play. I was beating the drum for 4-5 years that Holland was a crap GM, and crap GMs make massive blunders. We do need to just accept that as a fact now though because there's virtually no way to get rid of that deal. We know it's almost certainly untradeable but it's also virtually buyout proof.
If the Oilers were to buy him out this coming summer, we'd have a big cap space gain for one year with Nurse on the books for only $260K...and then we get HAMMERED giving up almost his entire cap hit for nothing for the next four years. The residual isn't awful - five more years at just ~$1MM, but there's almost no savings over the life of the deal other than the first year so you'd just not have the player and retain the hit.
It's UGLY and shows how incompetent Holland was...but then again, we already knew that so may as well accept it and just be glad he's gone. I really hope he hires on to be GM elsewhere!
