Multiple reports say Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse asks to be traded and partially waives his no-trade protection as negotiations continue this offseason. SportsNet’s Mark Spector reports that Nurse partially waived the no-move clause and told the Oilers he wants a trade, following a planned meeting involving Nurse’s camp and Oilers general manager Stan Bowman. The Athletic reports that Nurse informs the Oilers of his desire to be moved last week and provides a short list of preferred destinations. Other outlets similarly characterize the development as Nurse seeking to leave Edmonton after more than a decade with the club. The reports do not agree in detail on the timing of each step beyond the general sequence—Nurse signals his intent, engages with team leadership, and submits a list of destinations—nor do they specify where he would go or the exact parameters of any deal. As of the latest reporting, the situation is framed as an active trade request by Nurse rather than a completed transaction.
