EDM and pending RFA D Darnell Nurse are finalizing a two-year contract extension with an expected AAV at a shade higher than $5.5M.

How can they not?

That's kinda a "fuck you" from Nurse. I don't see any discount, and he's a UFA as soon as possible. Me thinks Nurse is giving the Oilers 2 more years to figure their shit out, or he is gone on the open market.

[Blob Mckenzie]

It’s Nurse betting on himself. He’s a good hockey player who’s going to be able to sign himself a real nice contract in two years in his prime.

[Strangelove]

Did anyone catch that BRUTAL spear to the nuts Nurse dished out a coupla games ago.

Somehow he got away with it, althoooough... karma.

MIN trades Jason Zucker to PIT for Galchenyuk, 2020 first-round pick and Calen Addison->a 2018 2nd round pick.

A similar deal for the Canucks woulda been:

1st, Jett Woo and Baertschi

Remember when Zucker was one of those 3 circumcised chaps Jimmy was trying to land?

Has Minny has given up on the season?

Funny, earlier today Zucker was quoted saying he's sick of all the trade speculation.

But yeah, fuckin' Galchenyuk and his vodka eh?

Zucker makes more sense for Pitt. He will probably go there and score 60 points a year. If Elmer made that trade I’d be pissed. That said it makes sense for the Wild. They let Galchenyuk walk, get a late first and a good prospect. They also gain 5.5 in space next season. Win win for both squads.

Found it! 7:23 mark. BRUTAL!!

Jett has failed to Woo since his draft so far....

Seems the Penquins always know what to do. Don't know about this one

Congratulations on a win. We beat Nashville. I'm sorry, who?

Great, but until we acknowledge number 40 is our future for the next five years and build the club to show that understanding, I have my Canuck Doubts.

This kid is a major talent.

Protect him for ffs.

McDavid out 2-3 weeks, the biggest test of the season for the Coilers.

[Madcombinepilot]

if by "big test" you mean:
"they aint winning the division",

your absolutely correct!!

I more meant "they might not stay in the playoff picture". He's in on 46% of Edmonton's goals - that's a big hole to fill.
