Tristan Skinner, star pupil of Dustin Schwartz since he was in Junior, and Darnell Nurse. I don’t even have any more words

Yeah two pitiful defencemen in 25 and 96 combined with Skinner part II (Revenge of Dustin) is a recipe for a tee time.
If McDavid had decide to sit this game out that would have been an even bigger embarrassment.

Yeah, Walman struggling hard out there. Is he injured? Or mailing it in after getting his retirement deal? Nurse is of course impossible for most guys to play with, but Walman's stats with other D pretty bad this season too. Usually D at least have better stats away from Nurse, but Walman being overall bad.

I was hoping Walman was just injured.. but there's not even been a hint by the media he is.. I've come to the sad conclusion that this is what he is.. can't skate.. and weak on the puck.. looks fat and slow.
Credit to his agent.. Oilers now stuck with two long term immovable defenceman contracts..
Add that to Fred's pension fund.. and I think I can say that Bowman has failed in the ability to analyze and determine talent
He's already painted himself (Oilers) into a corner after only 1 1/2 seasons..
Opinion: What would it take (picks/players) to unload Walman and Nurse?
Someone on Lowetide referred to Nurse's regression as the modern day Wade Redden..
same kinda idea.. but I think Wade could still play better.
