The Edmonton Oilers are getting ready for the rebuild of a lifetime come this offseason. On their journey, they will likely trade away some players in exchange for reliable, big defensemen, as well as sign some free agents.
However, according to an NHL insider, between all the changes that Edmonton makes this season, they will not trade one guy on the backend. He wears number 25 and plays an aggressive, passionate game and his name is Darnell Nurse.
Perhaps one of the most rumored trades brought up by fans and many different hockey outlets has been a trade for New York Islanders veteran defenseman Travis Hamonic.
