Is nurse still shit. I guess this rumor doesn't mean anything, on account of Chayka is the GM now.

Fwiw, all of the Oilers contracts they would be looking to move off of: Nurse, Walman, Frederic are fucking terrible and worse contracts for worse players than Rielly was at his absolute worst last year.

So tldr: Brad almost did something hilarious

You could probably write a book on the many catastrophes that he nearly caused with some behind the scenes info. In addition to the ones he did cause obviously, but you'd probably want to make that a sequel rather than jam it all in one book.

Yep, he probably almost did Knies for stuff and Rielly for Nurse. Fucking arsonist.

Thank god he wasn't organized and efficient.

 

[Cal Gal]

Thank god he was "observed" at the last damned minute.

 

[Volcanologist]

they probably want to dump Nurse on us in exchange. fuck off.

 

[Feyd]

It likely was as bad as everyone thinks. To go from talking extension during the Olympics, to Pelley observing him a few weeks later leading up to the deadline, pulling a complete 180 and shitcanning him.

 

[zeke]

holy christ we got away from him just in time.

all this capspace was gonna get absolutely destroyed for good for years.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Kind of incredible that he didn't try to add some guys after trading the UFAs he needed to trade.

Left $2M unspent and took his hands off the wheel.

I honestly don't know if he was at least smart enough to try to bottom out and keep the pick, but maybe this was his way.

Tre sacrificed himself for the team

What an ungrateful bunch of twats

Too bad we’ll never find out the deal Tre had with the Habs that didn’t beat the buzzer

 

[mbow30]

[MindzEye]

Habs don’t have any of that in stock

Guhle is 6'3 and has limited skill, that would be fine for Brad.

 

[mbow30]

Dont you guys have a 6’4 250 lbs meathead with the stupidest name in the world on d?

 

[mbow30]

He’s either a healthy scratch or plays 7 mins a game. I assume even Tre would aim higher
