Problems with Nurse are he's an Oiler first round draft pick.. he wound up being best friends with your two franchise players McDavid and Draisatl.. and is being paid a franchise player level salary himself..
So even though he's deserved a roster demotion based on poor play.. its never happened.. likely because;
1. Teams always give their first round picks endless chances.. and keep playing them right until the bitter end.. because it reflects very badly on management if your top pick is sitting in the press box, or bottom of the roster..
2. you don't want to irritate your real franchise players by dumping one of their close friends..
3. it looks stupid to pay a player 10% of the team cap to play limited 3rd pair defence.
4. He's got an unmovable contract until 2027.. so you have to keep playing him otherwise he'll have even less market value, and be more untradeable.
Nurse carries a lot of swagger.. I suspect based on draft selection, salary, and hanging out with 97 and 29.. he thinks he's a franchise level player .. and his permeability to coaching has been diminished as a result of it.. bordering on un-coachable.
JMHO :)
