Darnell Nurse discusses trade options with Penguins and Kings

Darnell Nurse has requested a trade from the Edmonton Oilers and expressed willingness to move to the Pittsburgh Penguins or Los Angeles Kings. Discussions between the Oilers and Penguins have reportedly taken place, with Pittsburgh evaluating Nurse's potential contribution considering his costly contract of $9.25 million. The possibility of including Ryan Graves in a trade has been mentioned, as his lower cap hit and lack of significant playing time make him an option. The Oilers' management considers offloading Nurse, who has faced struggles in Edmonton, while the Penguins are looking for improvements on their roster. Further evaluations may happen following recent evaluations of Nurse's performance during the World Championships by Pittsburgh's management.
