Nurse Heads to Sharks in Trade

About this episode

Darnell Nurse is seeking a trade from the Edmonton Oilers to the San Jose Sharks as both sides agree on a fresh start.

Darnell Nurse, Edmonton’s longtime defenseman, is seeking a trade as both sides agree it’s time for a fresh start. The Sharks, building a young forward core and needing veteran defense, see Nurse as the perfect fit. With his hefty eight-year, $74M contract, he’s a luxury they can afford thanks to over $40M in cap space. San Jose’s draft-heavy strategy—six first-rounders since 2021 being forwards—means they still need a stabilizing presence. The Oilers, already moving assets like Jake Walman for a pick, are eager to offload Nurse this summer. Expect a deal centered around draft picks, possibly including a second-round selection or Colorado’s pick, with salary retention likely for Edmonton.
