Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse is reportedly open to a trade to the Boston Bruins, alongside previously identified teams like Pittsburgh, LA, and Philadelphia. Nurse, who has a full no-movement clause, is seeking a change of scenery from the Oilers, who wish to move on from his $9.25 million cap hit. The Bruins, while needing a first-line center and a right-shot defenseman, must consider the ramifications of acquiring Nurse's long-term, expensive contract, which runs through the 2026-27 season. In the prior season, Nurse recorded seven goals and 24 points over 82 games.
