Time will tell in that regard.

This guy was a pretty good defenseman.

The problem is the $9.25 million, and that was in the summer of D when everybody got paid.

Nurse, though, didn't receive the same opportunity on the owner's power play really from that point on.

Tyson Berry, let's not forget, during the 2021 season, Tyson Berry led all NHL defensemen in scoring.

This past year, it was Evan Bouchard leading all NHL defensemen in scoring.

You're on the Oilers' first power play unit, you're putting up points.

And there were moments that Nurse did play first power play as far back as 18, 19, 19, 20.

So I do think we should recognize that Darnell Nurse, and I'm not sure how this is going to play out, okay?

You know, I think we're headed down an inevitable path here, given based on Elliott and Speck's report that he's requested the trade.

He'll probably, I would think, open up and provide a few more opportunities to give the orders some more options.

So I'd like to know, number one, what you think of Darnell Nurse and what you think the orders could potentially realistically get Darnell.

in a trade.

And remember, there's four years left at $9.25 million.

Now, switching focus.

Nothing to update you on the Mike Babcock front.

We know the league is going to conduct an investigation.

I have absolutely no timeline.

I do think you would be naive to believe that the Edmonton Oilers organization didn't do some background work on this.
