Nurse has made his fair share of mistakes over the years but he is also one of the few Oilers with a mean streak. Frederic is the softest 6'3" 220+ pound player I have ever seen.


Truth.

This is what scares me about Bowman and his pro-scouts.. how bad is their perception and analysis of NHL talent that they decide they need to sign a guy like Frederic for EIGHT years at $4M? Nothing Fred did while an Oiler even suggested he was worth re-signing.. never mind for 8 years.. They were clearly throwing darts and crossing their fingers.

Regarding Darnell, he had a mean streak, and could back it up.. he seems to have gone vegatarian or something.. gets pushed around too often, lack of weight and/or strength, and projects little to be intimidated about. No team is keeping their heads on a swivel looking out for Darnell.
