How Darnell Nurse’s Secret Strategy Sparked a Game-Changing NHL Trade
The Edmonton Oilers’ partnership with Darnell Nurse has come to an end. On July 1st, the first day of NHL Free Agency, the Oilers sent Darnell Nurse to the San Jose Sharks for Shakir Mukhamadullin and prospect Zack Sharp.
The Oilers did not retain any of Nurse’s $9.25 million salary, which was the goal from the start, when Nurse asked for a trade and submitted a list of three teams: the Philadelphia Flyers, Boston Bruins, and Pittsburgh Penguins. That list got expanded to the San Jose Sharks, who kept calling about his services.
