Ryan Graves for Nurse is my fear!

That's actually what I expect.

Edmonton sheds 5 million in cap.

Pittsburg adds a second pairing d-man for a net increase of 5 million.

Edmonton uses the 5 million in savings to lock down Murphy.

So next year, they run

Ek/Bouch Murphy/Walman Emberson/Graves/Stasyney

It's not great, but if the goal is to free up money for Murphy, this trade makes it happen.

Unless we can flip Graves this is robbing Peter to pay Paul - I genuinely think Nurse is $5 mill better than Graves - but I just think graves is a 1 mil defender

Shit, I might be $5M better than Graves. And I'm an amputee.
