I think the Oilers would probably move Larsson before they move Nurse
- PatC80

For sure.

The return would be considerably less.

Taylor Hall maybe?

If Leafs fans want a top 4 young up and coming d it's going to take Nylander if it's a winger. As much as I would want it to be Kap it is kind of unrealistic.

Likely so.

Bouchard and Jones are likely locks for next season. Russell or Nurse probably gonna get dealt.
- Wildschwein

Once Bouchard gets a taste of the Oilers powerplay.

He's gonna be a fantasy god.

Something like..... 20 goals, 40 assists -45.

Russell would be an interesting addition here, but he makes too much $$

So, Kapanen or Johnsson?

A Canadian version of Keith Yandle.

Then get Nurse. He is what the Leafs need and more.

Yup. Oilers would have to eat monies.

Makes sense in so much as the Oil/Leafs would probably make good trade partners.

Buuuttt Nurse has only 7 fewer points than Kapanen this season. Annnddd the career best point production for both differs by less than 5 points.

So why should the offensively starved Oilers move Nurse, a slick skating, mean ass D in his prime, for a forward who doesn't provide a significant upgrade in offence?

When you look at it like that, it doesn't make much sense at all.
- Wildschwein

It does to Leafs fans.

If the Leafs had a real goalie they’d be undefeated, c’mon Dumbasss get it done.

A better skating Muzzin.

Cue the Nurse for Bracco talk

would love to see that deal done
- CarlitoBrigante

It wouldn’t be 1 for 1. But Kapanen as the centrepiece of a package?

Only if the Oilers retain salary or take back Ceci

I blame EA NHL 95.

You could always trade 3 players with 70 ratings for one guy with a 92 rating.

An entire generation of hockey fans were lead to believe these trades are possible.

What's Edmonton adding to the deal?

Because Nurse's AHL numbers pale in comparision to Bracco's.

According to the news TO is in crisis over -12 temps. LOL.

Well to be fair. Some terrible GM's went and made these trades happen. So hope was created.

Roy for Thibault, Rucinsky and Kovalenko?

Joe Thornton for Sturm, Wayne Primeau and Brad Stuart?

Holy (frank).

I'm sure its more Larsson or Russell being moved from the back end. Sounds more they want to sign Nurse long term being drafted and developed in Edmonton.

The chatter is they have been trying with no luck so far to get him signed.
