Even if it\u2019s someone like <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/nhl\/players\/32811\/\" data-i13n=\"sec:content-canvas;subsec:anchor_text;elm:context_link\" data-ylk=\"slk:Collin Graf;sec:content-canvas;subsec:anchor_text;elm:context_link;itc:0\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Collin Graf&quot;,&quot;ySubModuleName&quot;:&quot;anchor_text&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Collin Graf<\/a>. These are the kinds of things, if you\u2019re Stan Bowman, I think you\u2019re probably looking at right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Nurse has four years left on his contract at $9.25 million per season and has a full no-trade clause. He has not been the top-flight defenseman the Oilers are paying him to be, and they have other players to fill that role. The Sharks, on the other hand, do not have young defenseman coming up through the pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/mike-grier-exciting-message-getting-012625190.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sharks won the second NHL Draft Lottery and will pick second in June;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Sharks won the second NHL Draft Lottery and will pick second in June&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Sharks won the second NHL Draft Lottery and will pick second in June<\/a>. They could take a defenseman there, but that does not mean that player will be ready to be a dominant defenseman in Year 1. That could lead them to bring in Nurse to man their powerplay in the meantime while they develop some other defensive talent.<\/p>\n<p>Nurse has nearly no trade value because of his albatross contract and poor playoff performance. Collin Graf scored 21 goals for the Sharks last year, but is not one of the top-flight forwards in the pipeline. If Mike Grier wants to make a big push next season, Nurse could be the guy to target.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/nhl-rumors-erik-johnson-drops-235332078.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:NHL rumors: Erik Johnson drops Connor McDavid-Auston Matthews Wild \u2018hot take\u2019;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;NHL rumors&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NHL rumors: Erik Johnson drops Connor McDavid-Auston Matthews Wild \u2018hot take\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NHL rumors: The package Sharks could offer to Oilers to acquire Darnell Nurse appeared first on ClutchPoints.
