Ok Spec, ask the hardest question everyone wants to hear. Ask him this: "Darnell, your contract is really not matching your production. You have a no trade clause. Tell us why you wouldn't consider waiving that contract for the betterment of the team. Don't you think Connor is going everything he can to win?"
The Oilers are gonna look back during the McDavid era, wondering why he never won a cup. And look no further than this guy. If Oscar Klefbom was still here, he's lucky to still be around.
If he waves his NMC, he could be traded. But they would have to take back a bad contract. They are screwed. Him and the Campbell signing are exactly why they haven't won a cup.
Even if that was because its spec, thats not the type of question to pop off on…not everybody knows the back story between the room and the journalist. Absolutly braindead of Nurse AS PER USUAL.
Good thing Walman skated by Ingram's stick, I guess Nurse should have gotten it and let Walman skate by, doing nothing. Then Walman tucks the puck into Ingram, letting his man whack away at it until he scores. At least we can blame Nurse though. To all the haters, Nurse needs a better partner, because Fake Walman is soft and lazy.
Even if he waives his NMC no team will want him. The two year window Conner gave the organization is pretty much gone because this team just can't stop handing out outrages contracts to low tier players. A championship will not happen this year.
When your best player is Bouchard, that’s a red flag. Everyone turned pucks over, including him, and that tunnel vision doesn’t kill offense, it kills your defense and leads to big giveaways. And ripping Nurse is pointless. His contract isn’t movable. He’s an asset you can’t get rid of, so the only real option is to figure out how to use him properly and get him playing the way the team needs.

The 9.25M man!!! He is absolutely brutal, sucks they can't trade him either! He's laughing all the way to the bank!!
Age has caught up with the Oilers.
What happened? Button had him as one of Canada’s defenceman for the 2022 Olympics….. not like he’s old and past his prime wtf.
I would kill for Jason Smith type defenseman again. This guy takes no ownership to anything and looks like he’s checked out.
First good Spec question
Nurse needs to go. I say make him sit until he agrees to wave the trade clause.
Do us a favour and leave town
Darnell Nurse is IN THE NET MORE THAN THE GOALIES ! …… somebody tell him to play DEFENSE ! $9.25 to play on all 4's HOW MUCH MORE TO STAND ON 2 LEGS ?
This guy hasn’t improved in any aspect of the game since he first arrived in Edmonton
Just the worst contract in nhl history
Waste of money
Put nurse on the wing
Big head but no brain 😂
Dust
do what everyone wants you to do and wave your no movement
Whose Cornflakes did Darnell hiss in? What a negativity blitz.
Maybe Darnell could give back 2 million and help the team out.
GO SPEC – RIP THESE GUYS UP
JUST ice that puck. we know you can't play D
Mr. Nurse can you play worse?
You are an absolute disgrace to the crest and letter A💩

Why does he even have an A
Nurse needs to play better man STOP WITH THE TURN OVERS…
Never thought I'd be on Specs "side" of an interaction… That response from Nurse was…. something…

Nurse is garbage but the people in the comments are clearly jealous of his paycheque
Even if he waives his NMC no team will want him. The two year window Conner gave the organization is pretty much gone because this team just can't stop handing out outrages contracts to low tier players. A championship will not happen this year.
Specs is a hard-nosed, no nonsensed, get to the point reporter. 😂 well done Captain obvious 👨✈️

A 64 year old Paul Coffey could lace up the skates, and still be better than this guy
