    Default Nurse's value in points-only

    I've read some people saying they thought Nurse would get some time to try out on PP, etc.

    But others who seemed more in the loop have pointed out his lack of offensive ability, instincts, passing, etc.

    Does he have much value in a points only league this season and in the future?

    I don't think he does. They are giving Bear more of a shot right now and they drafted Bouchard for that.

    Yeah - Nurse hasn't even sniffed PP Time this preseason. If that continues into the regular season he'll have a tough time posting more than 30 points, if even that.

    I don't think he gets above 30.

    I love the kid, but I don't see a ton of offense in his immediate future. I would be really pleased with 30 points. He's incredible value in multi-cat leagues, though, as he will likely cross 200+ Shots, 175 Hits, 150 Blocks with healthy PIM totals to boot.

    Same for me ... I don’t see a lot of offensive upside in his game.

    Between 25-30. I don't think they've given up on Klefbom... yet, but Bear is getting lots of looks as well. I don't think Bouchard gets his 9 games until late in the season either (if they're out of a playoff spot).
