Quoting: Campabee
How is it that Edmonton, who gives up the worst players come out on top?
Nurse isnt worse then Huberdeau.
Hubby was great in FLA but expecting to see that ever in CGY is pretty hilarious.
He's not built for the West, we've seen it before with different players i always think of Tomas Tatar who's off to another rocky start in his 2nd trip to a West Team
We've also seen the opposite with Marcus Foligno going to MIN going from 4th line to 1st line on a skilled hockey team.
While this deal i was hoping would be the exception because Hubby will be the most skilled guy by Mcdavid not named Drisatl since Hall IMO
Plus he has McDavid, Drisatl and RNH so 3 shots to find Chemistry he cannot in CGY
But honestly the smart money would be on Buyout down the road like with Duchene, Johanson, Suter, Parise, Perry and many others because moving a 4-6m dollar player making 10.5m x8 years.
Nurse on the other hand CGY could Retain 2m and a lot of teams could justify it if they were in a position like FLA for example with i think only Ekblad signed past this year on defense.
Im honestly surprise people thought Huberdeau was the piece with value given his minutes, points, point shares , and other metrics while hitting career lows along the way.
Nurse is just overpaid and in Bouchard's way if EDM wants to build a Norris Trophy caliber D
Im calling this post a dude though
I botched the trade
