Yes or no, is Darnell Nurse's time with the Oilers running out, Ryan?
I'm gonna say no, because that salary's gonna be very difficult to move.
So unless there's a team that's flirting with the cap floor and rebuilding- I'm not sure who's gonna take that on.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Yeah, Ryan, I, I agree with you.
He's got four more years at 9.25 million.
That's a lot to take on for a defenseman that is not worth anywhere close to that amount.
Can't buy him out.
The, the thing is, I guess this is getting a lot of talk because after this season, you do have a player who, who is, no trade clause kicks in, so you do have to provide a list of teams you can trade.
So right now it's open to 31 teams.
We'll see if there's a taker, you know?
Is there a team that needs to get to the cap floor that could use a veteran like Nurse?
That, that's- the only scenario.
Yeah.
