Edmonton Oilers FORCED TO TRADE Darnell Nurse Or Evander Kane?
The Edmonton Oilers are in a world of hurt following offer sheets from the St. Louis Blues. Well, the hurt is only going to get worse if they retain Broberg and Holloway. #EdmontonOilers #Oilers #NHL
i don't think any team would take Nurse with that 9.25 million contract. Kane isn't going anywhere thanks to the no trade clause that he won't waive as he wants to stay in Edmonton. Oilers will just have to let Broberg and Holloway go to St Louis, which isn't the end of the world. Also: rumor is Broberg wanted out of Edmonton ( he was not happy with minutes ).
Oilers should match Holloway offer. Let Broberg walk and take the compo. Holloway found his confidence in back half last season & was important in playoffs.
So they can't trade either Nurse or Kane without their permission which, in Kane's case (and probably Nurse's) they won't get. Kane's FULL No Movement Clause converts to a 15 team list March 1st of NEXT year. He and his wife and kids just built a house here. He's getting paid. He's on a team with great cup odds. Why would he want to be traded. Nurse is in a similar situation. He's got the bag and they can't move him without his permission. Take a wild guess which two words he'll give them. I'll give you a hint. It's not "Yes Please". Oh yeah, Nurse and Connor and Leon are big friends. Do you truly want to piss off Leon and Connor by trying to move their friend out? No if they're to keep Holloway/Broberg it really comes down to Kane LTIR PLUS trading another asset(s) to make up the difference. Really Ceci is the most likely. That handles THIS year. What about next year when Leon's new contract (however much that ends up being) kicks in? Well Jeff Skinner will be gone as will Ryan, Ceci, Connor Brown, Perry, and Neal's last year of buyout will be gone so that's nearly 2 mil more. That mounts up especially if they get the CAP increase they think they'll get. Issue is the players who go must be replaced or resigned to probably less team friendly deals. We'll see. Take care all.
Nobody is taking nurse, dream on and Kane wants to stay so he stays.
I feel bad for oilers fans. You guys can't see the forest through the trees, last seasons fluke run was the one and only shot at a cup. This year is the beginning off the end with the window slamming once the hack who owes #97 his entire contract Bouchard gets paid.
Oilers fans have become dillusional and bought into the fake hype created to get eyes on McDavid to goose the ratings.
The truth is the oilers are an injury to #97 away from mediocre and that's assuming Skinner won't suck. They have nothing coming up to balance the fact that 4 players will eat up half the cap which is huge.
Looking at a team like Vancouver, already deeper not only has 2.5 million in cap left but several prospects ready, or ready soon to make the jump. The oilers will finish 3rd or 4th in the Pacific and look forward to reading the comments throughout the year.
Nurse and Kane have nmc clause. They would have to agree.
Let them both walk. They obviously donāt want to win. 4.5 mill for broberg who couldnāt even make this team,black ace for the playoffs played a great 8 games but this is for a guy who hasnāt played a full season.
97/29 are taking less they should be to. If not cya later donāt let the door hit you on your way out.
Get used to this. With Bowman in the captains chair of the oilers line upā¦ all unwritten rules and gentlemanās agreements are done for oil country.
The league has its way of ensuring karma strikes those who need it.
let Holloway and Broberg go. They should never have given Nurse his contract and why. Think about it 9 mil is way too much for a defenseman and now you have this situation.
Look, we have 2 young players that are putting themselves ahead of the team. Why would we want to keep them?
I would be spending my week investigating whether or not there is a market for them. If there is, sign them and then trade there butts to a bottom feeder for some serviceable vets. Let their ungrateful butts play out their careers in that situation instead of playing for a perpetual cup contender.
If you cater to there wishes it only bodes for more rebellion like that down the road.

They'll find Atlantis, Jimmy Hoffa, and Amelia Earhart before they find anyone willing to take on Nurse's contract.

Trade Coady C for a draft pick. Sign Broberg. Sign Holloway send down Perry and Ryan
Nurse isn't going anywhere. You know better, Tyson.
You can't pay broberg 4.5 for what he might become. So much pressure will be on this kid. St Louis will regret this.

Super bad take Tyson. You know better than this Nurse gets traded you say good bye to McDavid

This is going to be a real juggling act to get this to work out
