The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly seeking to trade defenseman Darnell Nurse, according to Sportsnet's Mark Spector. The speculation indicates that Nurse's declining performance and hefty contract make him a candidate for a move as early as next season. Nurse, who has a no-trade clause that evolves into a 10-team list next year, will have discussions with Oilers GM Stan Bowman soon regarding his future. Should Nurse indicate a desire to remain with the team, trade talks may pause, but the Oilers are prepared to act if he considers a trade unavoidable.
