Summary
Edmonton’s Oilers are reportedly ready to part ways with defenseman Darnell Nurse, 31, as GM talks about waiving his no-movement clause — but a rumored trade to Toronto for Morgan Rielly? That’s a financial and on-ice misfire. Rielly’s $7.5M cap hit is already heavy; Nurse’s $9.25M deal adds $1.75M more, tying Toronto’s hands. Plus, Nurse’s underwhelming 2023-24 season — just 7 goals, 24 points, declining ice time — doesn’t justify swapping a veteran for another aging defenseman. Toronto should be looking to save money or add youth, not pile on costly, less effective talent. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
