Zadorov Trade Rumors Explode | Edmonton Oilers News

A wild trade rumor nearly shook the NHL: the Boston Bruins were reportedly set to send defenseman Nikita Zadorov to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Darnell Nurse — but Zadorov used his no-trade clause to stay in Boston. Though some dismiss the deal as fiction, Bruins insider Jimmy Murphy confirms it was real, even if it didn’t make sense for Boston’s long-term plans. The Oilers, meanwhile, ended up trading Nurse to the Sharks, who took on his full salary. Zadorov remains in Boston, poised to anchor their defense next season — a deal that’s now a classic “what if” in hockey circles.
