Nurse is the only newcomer from the leadership group who wasn\u2019t here last season. That doesn\u2019t mean the defenseman isn\u2019t already a leader in the locker room. <\/p>\n

\u201cHis experience. He\u2019s been in the league a long time. He\u2019s seen a lot of winning. What he did in Edmonton, I know they didn\u2019t win a Cup, but he was a big part of those teams, and the Stanley Cup Final,\u201d Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said. \u201cHe understands what it looks like and how to get there, and I think he can help our group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other San Jose Sharks leaders talked about the importance of a guy like Nurse being a leader on the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been around for a long time now. You can tell, in leading up to training camp, that he\u2019s a natural leader and obviously a huge part of our back end, huge part of our team. So we\u2019re happy to have him,\u201d Groodrow said.<\/p>\n

For Nurse, he\u2019s already comfortable speaking up with his new team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat goes with the leading by example part first. When you try to come out, work, and do the right things each and every day, and you have something to say,\u201d Nurse said. \u201cIt\u2019s not always just about talk, but there are moments that you learn throughout your career when maybe something needs to be said, or you know, if you have a quieter group, something needs to be said. Just bringing that life and energy. I\u2019m definitely confident and willing to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
