Please don't trade him Holland...

 

[Intangir]

Probably MB calling the Oilers after pestering the Flyers for Gostisbehere.

40 point smooth skating defencemen don't grow on trees.

The return would have to be super good for the Oilers to trade him.

 

[Bazeek]

I'm willing to bet that every GM in the league with an even moderately high-profile pending RFA is fielding a lot of calls about them today.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Would Nik Ehlers for Nurse be a good swap?

 

[dem]

Not sure why the Oilers would move on from Nurse.

 

[mouz135]

Please trade him Holland

He’s under contract for one more year at 3.2 mil.

Not sure why the Oilers would move on from Nurse.

It would take a strong, strong offer.

 

[Bazeek]

Is he? The way Oiler fans fret over him sometimes I assumed he was up this year My bad.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

I can see Ehlers playing on McDavids wing. I mean Ehlers is a very fast skater and he's also good with the puck.

Ehlers for Nurse may just be a pretty good hockey trade, but the Oilers can't afford to lose more D though. They are pretty light on D as it is.

Holland is not gonna trade potential core pieces. I'm not an Oilers fan so I'm not sure how the Oilers view Nurse, but if he's a core piece for the future, take it from me, he's not getting traded unless it's an overpayment.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Nurse for Kyle Connor ?

 

[1909]

Nurse won't be moved. he is their best d-man..... Oh wait, Subban was traded in the past and....

I would be inclined to agree. It would take a pretty damned good offer. The forward upgrade would have to be massive and we’d probably need a replacement D back, and all this would have to be accomplished without adding significant cap to Edmonton’s payroll. Tall order.

The Oilers don't have all that much to be proud of outside Mcdavid and Drai. Nurse is something they should be proud of and they should not even contemplate moving him.

 

[CycloneSweep]

The whole not wild on moving him is a sign of Holland thinking "I'm not going to say no, if someone throws me a massive dumb overpay I would be dumb to turn it down"

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

He’s under contract for one more year at 3.2 mil.

He'll be an RFA after. That's a pending RFA in HF speak.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Holland peacocking pretty hard right off the bat

I dunno. If team like Toronto offers, Kadri, Zaistev, Sandin for Nurse and Lucic(2 mill retained)...

 

[Kamiccolo]

Might not be a bad idea to sell high if they get something useful for him.

 

[Kamiccolo]

I dunno. If team like Toronto offers, Kadri, Zaistev, Sandin for Nurse and Lucic(2 mill retained)...

Yeah, I am sure that Toronto will sell the farm for a middle pairing LD lmao

 

[Oil Spill]

I would not move Nurse for that return. Plus you know the cap wouldn't work.

 

[CycloneSweep]

They won't. And that's the point. If a team offers something insane for him then of course he will consider it but I don't think any team will.
