Nurse’s Oilers Clock Is Ticking Faster Than Edmonton Would Like

Darnell Nurse has been one of those players who can make a front office mutter into its coffee mug, because the talent is obvious and the questions never really stop. Sportsnet’s latest framing makes it clear that his place in Edmonton is not exactly on solid ice, and that alone is enough to get the rumour mill humming. The Oilers have lived with Nurse’s highs and lows for years, but this kind of conversation usually gets louder when a team starts weighing fit, money, and patience all at once.
