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.

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.

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
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.

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

Pittsburgh Penguins
@penguins
The Penguins have acquired forward Jason Zucker from the Wild in exchange for Alex Galchenyuk, Calen Addison, and a conditional 2020 first-round draft pick.
Zucker is signed through the 2022.23 season and his contract carries an AAV of $5.5M.
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.

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.
