The Edmonton Oilers are trading defenseman Darnell Nurse to the San Jose Sharks, according to sources. Nurse, 31, is entering the fifth year of an eight-year contract worth $9.25 million annually. Both sides agreed it was time for a change, leading to the trade after Nurse initially expressed a preference for East Coast teams.
Nurse played all 82 games last season, scoring seven goals and 24 points. He has been a key player for the Oilers, participating in 798 games over 12 seasons and contributing to the team's back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals appearances in 2024 and 2025. San Jose is actively revamping its roster, having recently signed several players.
