by TheWire· 0 replies· started 2h ago

The Edmonton Oilers traded defenseman Darnell Nurse to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defensemen Shakir Mukhamadullin and Zack Sharp on the first day of NHL free agency, creating salary cap flexibility to sign goalie Frederik Andersen, defenseman Ryan Shea, forwards Kasperi Kapanen, Max Jones, Eduards Tralmaks and Mathieu Joseph, and acquire goalie Devon Levi through trade. General manager Stan Bowman acknowledged Nurse as a lifelong Oiler and class act while noting the difficulty of the decision. Nurse had four years remaining on an eight-year, $74 million contract with a $9.25 million average annual value.
