Why Can’t The Oilers Trade Darnell Nurse? | Oilers Discussion & Analysis



In today’s video I discuss the logistics of trading Darnell Nurse or Evander Kane to clear up cap space as the #oilers continue to look for answers after the offer sheets tended to Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg. I also address some questions and concerns from fans on previous videos of mine and discuss what the lineup might look like if Kulak and Ceci are traded to retain Broberg and Holloway. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below! #oilers #blues #nhl

I am in no way affiliated with SACE but it’s an organization that I have donated to in order to help others in the wake of the Stan Bowman hiring.

  1. Trading Nurse would require salary retention of at least $3-4 million, because on average he's about a $6 million player.

  2. Trade Dry and Nurse for Brady Tkachuk. T has four more years at 8.5. and was reported unhappy in Ottawa. No way Edmonton can be successful w 50mill into 4 players (Nurse, Dry ,McD , Bouch ) in two years from now.

  3. This isn't a hard problem, Broberg is not worth $4.5M on the Oilers. Blues offered 2.5x what Broberg himself thought he was worth. It's vindictive lunacy from Armstrong based on some sort of personal vendetta against Bowman. Bowman needs to match on Holloway and never look back.

  4. NMC means Nurse is not going anywhere. There is a 0% chance he will waive his NMC because he wants to win a Cup and the Oilers are the only contender he has a chance to play on.
    A Kane trade will cost the Oilers a lot. Ceci and Kulak will cost less to move. However the Oilers have to be in "win now" mode so draft picks are useless.

  5. That brown signing is such a headscratcher. Money would of been better spent on giving broberg or Holloway an extra million

  6. He's overpaid that's why. Unless they keep 50% of his salary because for me Nurse is worth 4.5M not more.

  7. I thought Nurse had a provision in his contract where he has to provide a list of teams in the last couple of years of his contract?

  8. It’s likely the Oilers match on Broberg at least after the Ceci trade.

    14 million for Nurse and Broberg is insane to me. Nurse is definitely a serviceable Dman, but he should probably make half of what he actually makes. I know the initial plan for Broberg was to make half what his offer sheet was, but they waited too long.

    Imagine a world where they just traded Ceci and also lose out on Broberg…that would be kinda gross tbh.
