Darnell Nurse is sticking to his three-team list to this point? Can the Edmonton Oilers get him to expand his list?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Oilers Now with Bob Stauffer<\/a><\/strong>: Brian Lawton when asked concerning the Edmonton Oilers attempting to get Darnell Nurse to expand his list for teams he\u2019s willing to get traded to. What happens if things drag on?<\/p>\n

** NHLRumors.com transcription<\/p>\n

Bob Stauffer: \u201cCause you\u2019ve been in each chairs as a GM. Is there a way you’ll be able to facilitate him to maneuver and expand that list? And conversely, is there a way the agency, Paul Capizzano from Cortex, is there a way the agency can perhaps, you recognize, are they in a job of protecting that for just the three teams, or do they need to have a look at expanding the list. You recognize, because a 12 months from now that list is 10 teams.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Luostarinen, Ferraro, Romanov, Nikishin, and two Pettersson\u2019s<\/p>\n

Lawton: \u201cThat\u2019s right, and that\u2019s, that’s the one key point that makes it possible. I even have not spoken to Darnell Nurse. I don\u2019t know if he would consider that or not.<\/p>\n

But you recognize when a player gets into this position where they begin to examine themselves some place else, it\u2019s not difficult since the players wouldn\u2019t accept him. The players, the players understand it\u2019s a business greater than ever. I can\u2019t inform you how again and again I\u2019ve seen something and folks say, \u201cOh, I wouldn\u2019t wish to return in that room now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even for Dylan Larkin, someone brought it up, since it\u2019s out of his control with Steve Yzerman. And Steve Yzerman has made it blatantly clear, \u201cI\u2019ll do what I can do, but I make no guarantees.\u201d There\u2019s one other level after that. I hope that doesn\u2019t come to fruition for anybody, because it may well get ugly. And getting ugly would appear like a player like Dylan Larkin, and I\u2019m not saying Dylan would ever do that, but you recognize, he has some remedies too. They\u2019re not great, though. They simply need to do with not playing. \u2018I\u2019ll wait it out. I actually need to be traded.\u2019<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been down that route before. You higher have quite a lot of confidence in your clients should you\u2019re going to go down that route, because it may well get ugly and go sideways really fast.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Bourque, Hellebuyck, Hurricanes, Lightning, Gudas, Wild, and Oilers<\/p>\n

In Darnell\u2019s case, I don\u2019t see that taking place. I might see management going back and having open discussions with him. That is something that appears to be mutual at this stage. Meaning it\u2019s in the most effective interest for everybody that eventually a transaction does occur. And since of that reason,
I do know that I will surely not hesitate to have conversations with the player about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
