Oilers Must Move Nurse Before Free Agency | Edmonton Oilers News

Edmonton’s free agency window is about to swing open, but they’re stuck on one big move: getting rid of Darnell Nurse’s massive contract. With just $7.4 million in cap space, the Oilers need to trade Nurse’s $9.25M deal before his no-move clause kicks in next season. Six teams are in the mix, but Boston, Philly, and Pittsburgh are leading the charge. The Bruins might need to send back Lindholm or get a defenseman back, Flyers could move Ristolainen or look at younger options, and Penguins want salary retention — which complicates things. Sharks and Ducks are also interested, but Nurse must waive his no-move clause. The Oilers are in a bind — without moving Nurse, their whole offseason plan could collapse.
