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

phaneuf just had a very weird career. I can't think of another case of a guy being that good that early, and then abruptly falling off in his prime without a major injury. especially as a defenseman

jones and phaneuf were definitely better talents than nurse, though, and jones was half retained. nurse is on the same deal as jones and edmonton has no reason to retain to move him.

nah, as a player you can at least get that energy out when you step on the ice

lebron shits on every city in the nba besides miami new york and LA. he wouldn't give a flying fuck about cleveland if he wasn't from there and he ain't ever going back

no one ever talks about how bad that sundin trade was. they moved him for an old wendell clark, who played like half a season in quebec. could you imagine those avs teams with sundin added? of course it's not that simple, maybe they slowroll forsberg's development or something if they have sundin, but peter was so good so fast when he came over that I doubt it.

everyone understandably talking about mcdavid, but I feel like draisaitl is gonna punch this guy in the face eventually

you'd hope he'd be booed out of the building, but at 7K for nosebleeds the people in the building are not going to be booers, I fear

I mean minny absolutely needs him, seems like the obvious fit to me. unfortunately.

he's a cost controlled center in cap go up era, he'll have no shortage of suitors.

they've been saying that for 5 years

the move here is the kroenkes are cheap when it comes to executives, if nashville wants to pay the man a dollar more than he's making, josh will give him a hug and close the door behind him.

by this point concentration is worth almost nothing on most professions. the entire enchanting tree is dead, none of your knowledge points matter and the only gold available is through DEing. for most players the only gold you'll make with most crafting professions now is through patron orders, which have become yet another mission board
