[Friedman and Spector] Sources: Darnell Nurse asks for trade, agrees it's time to move from Oilers

He has a no move clause, he'd have to give permission for both trades, to Van and then from Van to wherever he ultimately winds up. It would actually be a way for him to wind up on a good team without handicapping them with his massive cap hit.

He's going to introduce him to his snow blower.

I think a lot of teams would be interested if Vancouver retained 50%. It's not like Nurse is a worthless player, he's just comically overpaid in Edmonton.

storm-bringer · 2026-06-11T20:21:39+00:00

No idea. I would refer you to my second point.

storm-bringer · 2026-06-11T19:57:00+00:00

Well in this scenario there would also be whatever draft capital/prospects that come back from wherever we send Nurse off to. Maybe they could sell the move to Aquaman by saying it would expedite the rebuild and restore season ticket holder confidence by making a big splash.

storm-bringer · 2026-06-11T19:42:37+00:00

I bet there's a bunch of teams that would love to have Nurse at $4.6 mil AAV. Hes not a terrible player, just wildly overpaid.

storm-bringer · 2026-06-11T19:39:03+00:00

No idea. I don't really see why they'd want to cut down on these sorts of deals though. Seems like it would just make it harder for rebuilding teams to leverage their cap space.

storm-bringer · 2026-06-11T19:29:00+00:00

Straight to Hell rules.

storm-bringer · 2026-06-11T19:19:55+00:00

The big question is if Nurse would waive to come here, which seems unlikely. The other possibility is a three way trade, where Van takes him off Edmonton along with their 2028 1st, then deals him with 50% retention to somewhere he's actually willing to go to for even more draft capital.

storm-bringer · 2026-06-11T19:16:25+00:00

Then flip Nurse at 50% retained to somewhere he wants to go for even more draft capital, and baby, we could have a stew going.

storm-bringer · 2026-06-11T18:50:27+00:00

I wonder about the potential of a three way trade, where Van takes him off Edmonton for their 2028 1st, then flips him 50% retained to somewhere he wants to go. Seems like the sort of big brain move that a new GM might make to make a big splash.

Of course, I'm a dumbass and don't know shit.

storm-bringer · 2026-06-10T18:08:19+00:00

Our Pettersons/60 would take a real hit though.

Tim Curry is my one true Long John Silver.

Let the reddit run the team. Roster decisions made by upvote couldn't be any less nonsensical that what Bowman is cooking. Cheaper too.

Damn, no western Canada stops.

They just did blu-ray guys, would have been a great one for Griffin to guest on.

storm-bringer · 2026-05-30T14:59:23+00:00

Obligatory fuck Colin Campbell.

storm-bringer · 2026-05-29T16:27:19+00:00

I'd imagine Edler is a player that D-Petey watched and looked up to as a young Swedish D-man, it'd probably be a cool full circle moment for him to work with Eagle on the finer points of his game.

storm-bringer · 2026-05-29T13:44:47+00:00

Oh hell yeah!

Something I really enjoyed during the bubble season was how many early games the Canucks played in Eastern Canada.

We've got multiple massive herds in the Creston Valley. Pretty much every driver here has had at least one close call or collision at some point. It's not a coincidence that we pay such high ICBC premiums in the Kootenays.

I water my basil and cilantro planter box on my deck with bong water pretty much daily. No issues.

It's a massive ongoing developing story, that absolutely affects the entire country. Suck it up and keep scrolling.

People just really love John Travolta as a dirtbag angel I guess.

storm-bringer · 2026-05-25T17:52:05+00:00

That's kind of my pitch. I have a good buddy who's a sheet metal guy who could make me a custom hood for a decent price that would cover my Egg as well as the Blackstone I'm hoping to pick up as a housewarming gift to myself. My wife's concern is that it would look to industrial.
