Summary
Veteran NHL defensemen Darnell Nurse and Morgan Rielly are swirling in trade rumors after underwhelming seasons, but insider David Pagnotta insists they’re not cap dumps — just players who could thrive in lighter roles on second-pairing teams. With Nurse scoring 24 points and Rielly 36, their stats may not dazzle, but their experience and ability to contribute meaningfully at a reduced workload make them valuable assets. Pagnotta argues teams still see them as smart, reliable options — not expensive liabilities — if matched to the right role. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
