No one is touching Nurse. You need to pay someone a lot to take him, pay someone a lot to take Campbell. SJ doesn't do this even if you take EK out of the deal.

Nurse is not a bad player - he is paid 1.5-3.25 too much. Same for goes for Campbell.

Both those deals are awful for San Jose. $34 million in retention plus over……$75 Million in contracts without resigning anyone. There is absolutely no way San Jose commits to over $100 million dollars

These are really rough. The retentions totals are insane and kill it.

I will say though doing a trade of Couture for Newhook is interesting as it fits both teams compete timelines better and I assume COL would be one of the few places Couture would waive to.

SJ has no interest in taking Nurse if they are dealing Karlsson with the goal of being worse for a more bright future.
