Chris Nichols: Bob McKenzie on Darnell Nurse’s contract situation: “By all accounts, Nurse’s contract negotiations are not going well at all. So we’ll have to wait and see on that.”
Bob McKenzie: (responding to the above tweet) “Probably should have added — and this is true of all RFAs, especially those who end up getting bridge deals after realizing vast gulf on long-term valuation, and that will be Nurse — they almost always get done. Just a matter of timing and how close to season opener.”
Jim Matheson: The Edmonton Oilers feel that their two-year contract offer for restricted free agent Darnell Nurse was fair.
