Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · Ayden opens the show (7/24/26) · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

I think a lot of the frustration around his game centered around how better teams attacked him in the playoffs, turned him into kind of a bit of a turnover factor, and if he wasn't turning it over, he was playing a lot of defensive minutes.

I think solving this problem is a big deal, though, because not only is it the salary relief that you're yielding from Nurse,

in that trade with San Jose, but it's also that you can now deploy that capital around the rest of the roster and you have a pairing out there that you can reasonably bet on over the next couple of years may actually improve from what the nurse pairing had been doing historically for the Oilers.

You hope that Darnell Nurse, the player, finds a game and rebounds in San Jose.

That's another team that I think they certainly deployed a ton of money on the blue line, but I think they had a great offseason just given where their prospect pool is at and Celebrini and all these guys coming along.

So honestly, I think the Sharks had another pretty good summer too.

And maybe Nurse thrives in a different environment, different players, younger players around them.

So maybe you hope it's a win-win, but right now, I think from an Oilers perspective, you have to love that deal.

Getting Freddie Anderson in net, too.

You know, it's not lost on me that, you know, he played arguably behind the best defense in the NHL in the last five years.

It will not be that strong in Edmonton.

But I also think you saw a player that when he is healthy, Freddie Anderson, he is a starting goalie in the NHL.

And that is what the Oilers have been looking at for quite some time.

So we got to go through Ryan Shea and all these other signings.

But I thought the Oilers did a pretty good job this summer.

I do.

I think I think this is the sort of bet that you make when you don't have the.

Connor Hellebuck, Shisterkin, you know, Sorokin type goalie, which not only do the Oilers not have, they've been looking for like, give me just half that and we can win a Stanley Cup.

But, you know, if you don't have this, you know, this workhorse goalie, which quite frankly, in the modern era of the NHL are so few and far between.

You really need to run platoons.
