Personal update: today my time at @OilersNation comes to an end. Was my choice and it was very tough. I owe a lot to @zjlaing and @jsbmbaggedmilk who gave me a chance and guided me along the way. The people at ON are passionate about their craft and I’ll miss that.

You won't count me as someone dancing on Nurse's grave on the way out of town. He was a very good Oiler for a long time, and it's not his fault Ken Holland gave him the bag. We'd all sign that deal too. #ThanksDarryl

Darnell Nurse is a good NHL D. He got put in unfair spots early in his career. It impacted his development. He still had quality play with the likes of Ceci/Stetcher. His contract was an anchor not of his doing.
If another team pairs him with a good RHD, I expect plus results.

Taller players are more likely to get picked earlier than similarly ranked counterparts.
Taller players are also more likely to underperform expectations of their draft slot.
This should say 2008-2017 drafts*

Connor Clattenburg and Vijami Marjala. The odd couple.

In honour of Dennis King and the hurricanes making the Stanley cup finals here is an uncropped screenshot from natural stat trick where it is unclear what specific item I am looking at. It's what he would have wanted I think

Tremendous news about Mr. Parkatti. Also Kirt Hill is a star on the rise IMO.
