His contract is nonsense and we need to find a bottom-feeder that has cap room to take him on. I know that we should be trying to use our assets to improve the team through addition... however I think this is a case of addition by subtraction. The small sample size that we have seen of Regula suggests he's far superior to Darnell on the defensive side, and that's what we need. The Oilers have Atro that they can bring up at a far cheaper price. Time to make the move, Stan. Ship Nurse out. They asked him to waive his No Move Clause this past summer and he declined. Until his NMC changes to a 10-team list for the start of the 2027-28 season, he's not going anywhere unless he wants to be traded. The only hope to get him traded before then is to treat him like trash and hope he asks to be moved. I know they can't send him to the minors with a NMC, but is there anything preventing them from healthy scratching him? Are there NHLPA rules forbidding that?

I think Nurse accused the media guy that said he was asked to waive his NMC of being a liar. Posted a "Why you lying?" meme on his Instagram after the "report".




Not sure asking Nurse to waive his NMC is a thing you do unless you are ready to dig your feet in and go all the way. Lots of years left on that deal to create awkwardness, if you can't make a good case and get Nurse to agree the relationship needs to end.


Can sit guys out for sure, but they are taking up a roster spot. That would be quite a confrontation to start.
