Do we have to pay to get rid of him? At $6.5m he's not as bad as at $9.25m...still four years left, but on the open market he's likely in that $5.5 - $6.5m range.

I'd try and unload him at full price.. there are some teams that need to make the cap floor... whatever they do they can't do a Lucic/Neal type of idea.. taking back anothe rbad contract and hoping the guy coming back is going to have some miraculous rejuvination as an Oiler.. get teh 9,25M and use it extra smartly.. and like a scrooge.

This seems like “you don’t dump me I dump you” energy.
Clean house or bust

Wonder if Nurse is expecting teams that he is gifting a spot on his 3-5 team list will be rushing to the chance to get him.

This is positive news. I didnt think we would be ablel to dump/trade nurse with McD here as they are buds. Thankfully both sides can move on. Lets hope Bowman doesnt blow this trade as well.

According to Elliotte Friedman, Oilers Darnell Nurse's preference would be a move to the Eastern Conference, and not to another Canadian team.
If a Western Conference destination is in play, the Los Angeles Kings appear to be a possibility.
Friedman adds there is legitimate interest around the league, and believes a hockey trade will ultimately get done.
Nurse having a good run with Murphy and being decent at the Worlds probably helps us out here. Still many GM's out there that value size and fitness to play lots of minutes over anything else.
