This is a joke, right? You can't possibly really think that.

The perfect proposal. No one is happy

Nurse is solid but he's not better than Lindholm. Oilers coughed up some bloated cap hit with Nurse for sure.
Nurse is awful and his long awful contract hasnt even started omg. Goes for an extra THREE years beyond OELs awful contract and is $2 million more per season, so yeah, no way Canucks take on that brutal crippling contract without the Oilers paying up, bub

This has to be a joke of a post, right? Nurse's contract is bad, but Nurse is not.
I don't hate the Nurse. With that contract he has the greatest agent in the history of hockey. Would Nurse make Chicago that much better?
This sort of logic doesn't compute for a chunk of HF posters.
You must be living in a fantasy world. Nothing you posted there is even remotely realistic. Why not demand McDavid while you're at it?
There are no examples of any team retaining on a contract they just signed and for eights years and at 50%. Not only are there no examples of such a trade, it doesn't even make sense in the context of trading Darnell Nurse. I can't tell if you're just trying to get a rise out of Oiler fans or you're really this unbelievably clueless.
I think once there's more defensive support Nurse can stop logging insane TOI and will play better. Like Drai and McDavid the wear and tear is catching up to them.

Nurse is on a pretty bad team so it’s difficult to value him but he’s probably worth a bit more than Barrie so about the $5.6M that he’s currently making.
Unfortunately that means that his value is that of a $5.6M player with $3,650,000*8 or $29.2M of future over payment.
That’s pretty bad. He’s probably untradeable unless Edmonton retains A LOT.

Wouldn't trade Nurse for anything Vancouver would trade for Nurse.
Certainly not for OEL and a first.
I counter with Smith + 1st for Demko. About the same value proposition.

We have the third best record in the league under our new coach, and the rest of this post is absolutely bananas.
Your hockey evaluation needs *a lot* of work if you think Darnell Nurse is only "a bit" better than Tyson Barrie.
He had a very poor game against Calgary, but he's having a good year and is a slam-dunk top pairing defenceman in his prime. He's overpaid, that's it.

I get why the Oilers don't do this trade, I actually think neither team does, and I certainly don't think that Nurse sucks, he's a good dman that just happens to be grossly overpaid.
Having said that your counter is in no way the same "value proposition", Demko is signed to a great contract. Maybe you didn't know that?
Then no trade. Oiler fans need to stop trying to dump off Nurse on us. Benning is gone, that shit wont work anymore. Hes your problem except for an overpay

OEL is a #3-4 with a cap hit of $7.26m for 5 more years.
Nurse is a #2-3 with a cap hit of $9.25m for 8 more years.
Honestly both contracts are boat anchors...give me the one that ends 3 years earlier.
Canucks should've just kept Tanev and Toffoli.

So we parlayed a few terrible but expiring contracts for an even worse, long term one in OEL.. Now you want us to do it again?
I wonder if Nurse told the Oiler's he would walk if he wasn't signed last season. Odd they didn't wait till this year, not like he could have played himself into a bigger contract
It's literally the only trade proposal of Nurse to VAN on the boards, and by all appearances wasn't even started by an Oiler fan. Open your eyes maybe?

By what measure is Nurse a 2-3? Lol.
Dude eats minutes successfully, is physical, has the same xGF/60 as Cale Makar, and an xGA/60 better than Pietrangelo, Parayko, Hamilton, Jones, Fox, etc.
He's a clear #1/2.
Is he Hedman? No. But he's an invaluable specimen that the Oilers can't afford to lose.
You can even argue he's a little bit overpaid, but he's a legitimate and strong defenseman.
I have less than zero interest in trading Nurse, to be frank.

The fact that people are calling OEL not a top 4 D shows that you don't watch the games.
I don't think either side does this
Nurse is better, but Canucks cannot afford to eat that cap hit and the Oilers need to win now while they have McDavid and Drai
