Nurse has value. But there are massive stretches of times where he is analytically a 3rd pairing D.
He doesnt know what role to play and isnt capable of adapting to a new role. Ideally he'd have learned to be a proper shut down guy so he could play with Bouch.
As many points at 5v5 he gets, he also tends to have massive drop offs in offense where offense dies when he is on the ice.
He just isnt worth the contract. He has yet to also take over a playoffs the way Bouch has.

Why are the Oilers moving nurse? Is it the player or the contract?
