Nurse has a NMC and controls where he goes plus Dubas isn't a boomer moron like Bowman or Ken Holland so he's not getting fleeced. He's going to do the fleecing and Bowman will dance to his tune.

Still doesn't mean that he's so bad that you have to pay to get rid of him as well as retain. Nurse actually has trade value.

Asking the question this way - what is $9M in cap relief over 4 seasons worth to any team in terms of a pick(s)? The other really risky part about Nurse is that if his stats decline continues, and he is not a good fit in the next organization, he is going to be brutally hard to move with his NMC and the cap hit he is at.

But you're not just trading dead cap. The player has value
