Nurse Trade Rumors Shake Oilers Defense

Darnell Nurse may be traded despite his no-movement clause, opening the door for the Oilers to shed his massive cap hit and pivot toward other priorities—like upgrading forward depth or goaltending. With Jake Walman locked in as his likely replacement, the team bets on his underrated shot and puck-moving ability to anchor the top-four, even after a down year. If Nurse departs, the Oilers gain cap flexibility to pursue impactful upgrades, while also eyeing affordable third-pairing options like Seeler, Soucy, or Stastney.
