Quoting: Nhl_oilers
Fair fair, although i feel like Nurse can work on that part of his game to solidify himself as a better 2-way defence man. The main issue i have with the Nurse/Ceci pairing, is that it is not good enough in its down end. They will get beat wide by the wingers, or not get back in time with the back check. With Nurse not having to try and perfect his defensive game more, i believe with a defenisve guy, he can learn to work on his offensive game as well. Imo, getting an offensive guy like the ones you listed, will create a lot of problems defensively where Nurse isn't at his strongest.
I guess I should clarify that the guys I would look for are more 2-way defenders like Ekholm, maybe putting Chych as the first name I mentioned wasn't good as he is more offensive but Faulk and Carrier are both very good defenders, Carrier I would even go as far to say is a pretty elite defender (though I dont have a huge sample size of watching him).
I believe you mentioned Jensen who also fits this 2-way category but more so is defensive and I 100% would love him on EDM, my main objection is to purely defensive dmen (ex. Tanev or TJ).
