How close were the Edmonton Oilers to moving one of their longest-tenured defencemen? 👀
In this clip from Oilersnation Everyday, NHL insider David Pagnotta joins the show to break down the behind-the-scenes details surrounding trade chatter involving Darnell Nurse. Despite Nurse holding a full no-movement clause, Pagnotta explains just how serious the conversations may have been and whether the Oilers truly explored the possibility of moving the veteran blueliner.
Was it just teams calling to check in? Did Edmonton actually consider moving Nurse? And how realistic would a deal have been given the contract and protections involved? Pagnotta dives into everything he’s hearing around the league and gives insight into how close the situation may have come to becoming a real trade scenario.
If you’re wondering how the Oilers approached one of the biggest potential roster decisions involving their core, this is a fascinating look behind the curtain.

Nurse is a bum these days…. If only he could go back to playing before he got that massive contract. Thats the good Nurse we need back.
Given it was Bowman I bet the team was the Chicago Blackhawks and the goalie rumour was for Spencer Knight. I'm starting to wonder if he only has one GM's phone number. 😂
It was only ever a fantasy by the fans
He aint going anywhere , he'll never waive his clause and why would he , its not even worth mentioning
whatever the actual answer, it's not close enough
hes a greedy selfish scumbag that doesnt give a single fk hes the most hated player in oilers history and that he is the sole reason oilers are so far behind in defense and goaltending. if they could dump that scrub losers contract amd pick up a solid defender and goaltender the oilers would be a top 3 team
Unfortunately not
Nurse is overpaid
Nurse to Montreal
Not close enough
Sure wish it happened . He's been an sore in the ass of this team for a very long time and it should have happened.
I hope he does get moved or at least stripped of his captaincy by next season
Oh wow this is one of the most painful what -if’s ever as an oilers fan.
Oilers is a Nurse LTIR away from the Stanley Cup 😅. If only can use a Nurse LTIR to get players and then don't dress Nurse in the playoffs to be cap compliant
Lol. Nobody wants Nurse.
The worst contract in nhl.
The most over paid player in the NHL…………..he is a pylon!
We would have a cup if we didnt have nurse the plug.
Nurse is not Worth a Million a Year he is a 3rd Pairing WHL Player for Real.1st Down Low Spin him ounce and he is Totally out of the Play 2nd Forecheck from Slot Down he Coughs the Puck up or Falls 3rd From Center going Backwards he Gets Beat 90 per cent of the Time 4th He Screens the Goalie at Least 10 to 15 Times a Game 5th He Scores on his own Goalie at Least 10 Goals a Season and Sometimes the Shot from the Point is going Wide of his Net and Nurse Deflects it in or Goes off his Stick in.If i was an Oiler Goalie in the Dressing Room i Would Punch Him in the Face.6th Just over all he is a Terrible Skater Slow and Falls Down 4 Times a Game just Tripping over his Own Feet 7th He Pinches on a Rush Does a Toe Drag at the Blue Line Get to about the Slot of other Team and Just Turns Around Does not even Attempt to Play the Puck i Guess Just not all there.Healthy Scratch Him the Rest of the Season Bring Some Young Kids Up
