Stammer and Marchessault to the Oil

Pens can just trade Jarry to Detroit for a 2nd like you did instead of taking on the Nurse contract.

Retain 15% and it's similar, but not the same. I don't care if you think the accusations of him being a "locker room cancer" are false. In business, perception is just as important as the reality, and CHI already has more controversy than they can handle. I have watched a few videos he did where he was working with charities and stuff, he does seem like an alright dude, for whatever that is worth. But the history is undeniable. Also, he has a full NMC, that I HIGHLY doubt he is waiving for a rebuild.

Though, CHI was supposedly kicking tires on Nichushkin at one point. So, I guess anything is possible.

Your guys D core is lacking puck movers and I guarentee Dubas would be open to taking Nurse to compliment Karlsson. Not much great LD-men in free agency

Remember that chicago also sent a 2027 4th round pick to vancouver, not the case here, just the second being sent. Also Kane will probably waive his NMC after being scratched in the SCF, along with no longer wanting to deal with the media here.

So you know all the rumours around Kane are false because… you are in the dressing room?

Please, he couldn’t get along with his teammates in Winnipeg or Buffalo. Then you factor in all his well documented off ice domestic issues… not exactly the type of character you want around a young rebuilding team.

Hawks decline.
