Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. On what appears to be a, we've had a rough June, man. Like the weather's kind of been crappy. But we're in the city southeast side and it looks like we're going to get a little bit of rain here as evening goes on. Game five of the Stanley Cup Series tied 2-2.
with two of the lowest save percentages we've seen in the last 25 years in a Stanley Cup final. So something to keep an eye on there. But anyhow, this show today, we're going to have Ron McLean coming down the pipe at 435. At 505, Washington Capitals analyst Al May. And the Capitals, they had sort of a decision to make a few years ago.
And you're going to have some interest in this conversation coming up with all because it pertains to Mike Babcock and Peter Laviolette. At 535, we do our prospect report for Reface Magic with hockey blogger Bruce Kerlock. Our top story, though, for legacy heating and cooling. Home and old payments to no interest for one year. That's how you build a legacy. Legacy heating and cooling.
And the top story pertains to a tweet that came out four hours ago from Elliott Friedman reporting with Mark Spector. Darnell Nurse asked for a trade, agrees it's time for a fresh start. Here is where we get you to chime in. You can text us on the Ashley Fine Floors text line, 780-451-8800. Find the new floors you always wanted at 143rd Street, 111th Avenue.
That is, or you can head to ashleyfineforest.com for more information. Now, in this story, it suggests there could be three to five teams. It would not surprise me. if one of those teams, given Darnell Nurse's career history, might be the Pittsburgh Penguins. The obvious connection to Kyle Dubas, who was Nurse's general manager with the Sioux Greyhounds. I'd like to know your thoughts.
You can text us on the Ashley Fine Floors text line, 780-451-8800. For me, you know, I think that Nurse and Evan Bouchard are two guys that, frankly, at times, seem to draw a lot of criticism in this market. I think it kind of fluctuates on the day. Ironically, I think they're linked together, too. relative to sort of the trajectory of the respective careers.
As Evan Bouchard took off and became unequivocally the Oilers' number one power play guy, now he ultimately supplanted Tyson Berry in that role. But before that, Darnell Nurse and Tyson Berry often were Edmonton's number one D pairing. And then we had Duncan Keith and Bouch play together during the course of the 22 playoffs.
Because if you think back to the 2021 season, Darnell Nurse had an incredible year. He had 16 goals, 36 points in roughly, what was it, 56 games, had a good playoffs, logged huge minutes. And, hey, if you want to text me and rip me, you can at the Ashley Fine Floors text line at 780-451-8800.
I did say I thought there were times during Darnell Nurse's first four or five years he had the potential to become a Larry Robinson-esque defenseman. That ultimately did not come to fruition. Now, the Montreal Canadiens used to... People forget this, and for you old-timers, you remember this. The Canadiens used to use three defensemen on the power play a lot. So they used to have...

Chapter 2: What are the latest reports on Darnell Nurse's trade situation?
So I'm just going to throw that out there. You know, Mike Babcock was never criminally charged for something. He was not sanctioned by the National Hockey League. So this will be intriguing to watch. I don't know sort of what, quote unquote, the NHLPA has there. as some have suggested. So I'm going to be very interested.
I will tell you this, from a timing perspective, the focus right now for the National Hockey League is on the Stanley Cup final. So I don't think this is something that just gets...

So our top story today pertains to Darnell Nurse for Legacy Heating and Cooling. Home with no payments and no interest for a year. That's how you build a legacy. Legacy Heating and Cooling. Again, keep the text coming. We even read the critical ones. And some of you have had some fun with that over the course of the last two or three days.
When we come back, we will hear from Pierre Lebrun and Rob Brown. from yesterday's edition of Orders Now as we go into the Orders Now Audio Vault for Direct Workwear. Alright, here's what we're going to do. We will go into the Audio Vault. I have given young Aidan Ganim just a miserable task. He's going to have to whip through an hour worth of a show on Monday to look for a clip, but that's okay.
I've asked for your thoughts about Darnell nurse. Marshall says on the Ashley five floors text line, I think nurse is a serviceable second pairing D when he wanted to play mean, he was a menace. However, I always thought at times he tried to play like he was an offensive defense, but way overpaid, of course, which hurt the Oilers a lot through the flat cap.
I'd have them all day at four or $5 million. Can't see us winning a trade with this contract. That one comes to us, uh,

Chapter 3: What teams are interested in trading for Darnell Nurse?
from Marshall. The only argument, the flat cap probably pushed the Oilers to back-to-back bridge deals on Nurse, and they couldn't get him signed and extended at a later date. I remember when Edmonton extended Tom Gilbert and Oscar Kleffbaum on longer deals in the fours.
even towards the end of gilbert's contract before he was flipped for nick schultz that was a decent price point certainly clef bombs contract was an absolute uh bargain james from calgary says if darnell was paid less he wouldn't be going anywhere who's going to play the minutes careful what you ask for uh Oilers fans, Stan Bowman can't screw up this on dollars in and dollars out.
We need net financial gain. Get a real player, not just a contract dump from another team's scrap heat. Again, you can text us at 780-451-8800. Brian from Millwood says, we do not need to add anything to a trade for Nurse. We need a player who can score and has size with term, minimum three years or more, not less. Half-half or less the salary. All right, again, you can text us 780-451-8800.
Bob, Kevin says, another great player ran out of Edmonton Superset. Well, the report said, hey, it was just time. Time for a nurse and time for the Oilers. You know, running a player out of Edmonton early in a guy's career is different than a guy being with the team for 10, 11, 12 years. Again, you can text us. Who's Tom Gilbert? And I'm an Oilers fan.
Well, Tom Gilbert was part of a defense in 2008, 2009, the first year that I did the games, that's 18 seasons ago, that had four D-men with 30-plus points that year. The other two teams that did it that season were Detroit and San Jose. The only problem with that is Detroit had a lot better forwards. That was Mac T's last season as head coach of the Edmonton Oilers. Bob, Brady Shea is my player.

Chapter 4: How does Darnell Nurse's performance impact his trade value?
Brady Shea is my player. Interesting. This text comes in from Haji. It says, Bob, after the Stuart Skinner trade, if Bowman sees Dubas' number on his phone, Stan needs to rip the cord off the wall and throw the phone out of the window. The owners cannot afford another big loss in a trade. A 20 minutes a night, 76 to 82 games a year player is not easily replaced. He adds...
Seth Jones got Spencer Knight in a first. Keandre Miller returned with Scott Morrow in a first. The owners won't be looking for draft capital unless it's to flip in another trade. The difference is the price point. It's the price point on Nurse. Now, you would say, well, what about Seth Jones?
The player also has control in these situations because of the clauses that are in place, the no movement clauses. Remember that. This text comes from James from The Hood. He says, we shouldn't have to retain more than 2.25 as Chicago only retained 2.5. Thank you for pointing that out, that the Blackhawks did retain on Darnell Nurse in that trade.
Darnell played the second most minutes in the last nine seasons. He was always healthy. We need to get something decent in return. He's still serviceable. from James in the hood. I'm finding this interesting. We're getting people supporting Nurse. I like that. This text comes in from Jason from Sangudo. Oh, this is an awesome text. This is an incredible text.
Bob, I like Darnell Nurse, says Jason from Sangudo. If being overpaid for what is produced gets you run out of town, a lot of us better pack our bags. That is an awesome text. I love that. 522 in oil country. Bob, can you give us some guys on bad contracts that could realistically be moved for nurse? Well, again, I'm just going to guess, and I don't 100% know who's on the short list of the teams.
Again, the report says three to five teams. I will guess that Kyle Dubas in Pittsburgh would be involved. They would probably offer a guy like Ryan Graves up, and I don't think I'd want to do that if I was Edmonton. So just remember that. There you go.
Bruno from Toronto says, Bob, we have two of the best players in the league and are one year removed from the finals, and somehow we've become a joke around the league. It's become a circus. There you go. You can text us at 780-451-8800. Bob, could the Oilers swindle Witherspoon from Pittsburgh? He looked pretty good playing with Evan Bouchard in the Worlds. Unlikely. Unlikely.

Chapter 5: How does Darnell Nurse compare to other NHL defensemen?
Ken Holland signed him eight years, 9.25 months.
Yeah, and Kenny had very little because Darnell in his camp was mad because they could have given him a much cheaper long-term deal. Two years earlier or the year before. Bridge, bridge, bridge. And then the year of the big defense.
And then Darnell hit him over the head.
All of D got the huge deal. He hit him over the head with a hammer. And that's not Darnell's fault. You'd want him on your team. It's just.
If he was six and a half or seven.
Yeah. And, you know, like it's I still think there's more there. Yeah. There you go.
That is Craig McTavish. And I said, I can see Pittsburgh making sense. That's the one team right off the top of my head. And I know Dubas. And I can see him trying to, well, what about Graves? And again, for me, no. But you asked for a guy, and that's a guy that's got a tough contract as well. Again, you can text us, 780-451-8800. IMAC says, loved early Darnell Nurse. Something ruined him.
Went soft. I've never been a nurse hater, just a disappointed fan from IMAC. I don't think he went soft. I mean, he still stepped up and, yeah. Here we go. Coach Darcy says, Darnell Nurse should be moved to fourth line center and play the penalty kill and get double shifted when the Oilers have a two-goal lead. There you go, 780-451-8800. Bob, if our leadership, and of course, Excuse me.
The text comes in. Ryan Rashog reporting last night how heavily vested the players were in the process for the coach. If our leadership, this text title is 7801, it's Mike Babcock, then end of story. I'm so sick of all the woke, bleeding hearts out there. So there you go. You can text us. 780-451-8800. Oh, my. Come on. Come on.
