@Denny_Sawchuk I agree. I sometimes wondered if Nurse would come to this conclusion. He still would have been well paid if he took a cut and the fans would not have tailed him all these years.
@AdamsOnHockey Perhaps McDavid sees the hard work ethic as important. That aligns with Babcock. My concern is how the lesser important players on the team will be treated.
The leadership group has been embarrassing this summer, disjointed with not much of a concrete plan unless it is hidden. And Bob S. becomes the guy to sell it to the public. Certainly the players want to be pushed more than Knoblauch did but one needs to watch for intimidation of the players with Babcock.
@NHLRumourReport This is sad but Nurse has known his strengths and weaknesses. I donβt know why his weaknesses did not get much better. He will be happier in another team too.
