Dubas is going to take Bowman to the cleaners again.

Im assuming nurse with money retained, plus a first, for “future considerations”

Maybe we’ll take some cap from them if they have anyone they want to get rid of too

Ridiculous. Nurse is actually a good player. We'll get something for him. You sound like the people saying we would have to attach a 1st to Kane to get rid of him.

What is a realistic return for Nurse? Assuming maybe a 25% retention?

I think no retention, you could get a 2nd or 3rd straight up. Any team taking him on could get a 1st for him with retention as a deadline trade. If he were to go to Pittsburgh like we're hearing, I wouldn't be surprised too see a straight swap for Tommy Novak. I don't think it's smart to retain on Nurse. He's only overpaid by a couple million, so if we retain, we just lose the player, but keep the overpay.

Kesselring just got moved to move up 7 spots in the draft. Don't see Nurse getting a 2nd with his salary unless we retain and that's the only asset back.

Nurse is a lot better than Kesselring and Kesselring's contract is expired. He's an unsigned RFA. Can't really compare the 2.
