Oilers' Darnell Nurse seeks trade, Philadelphia Flyers show interest

Darnell Nurse of the Edmonton Oilers has reportedly requested a trade. Sources indicate that the Philadelphia Flyers may pursue him, with noted mutual interest between the team and the veteran defenseman. Nurse's status as a well-regarded player is tempered by his significant salary of $9.25 million, which stretches through the 2029-30 season. Any potential trade would likely require the Oilers to retain part of Nurse's salary for a deal to be feasible. The connection between Nurse and the Flyers also includes his familial ties to Donovan McNabb, a former Eagles quarterback.
