I think you need to aim lower with a Nurse return. Everyone you listed, Korchinski, Zellweger and Simashev, are all top of the line defenseman prospects. Nobody is giving up a player like that for a soon to be 29 year old defenseman making 9 mil for 7 more years. I’d say go a tier lower on the prospects. Even then teams might view this more as helping EDM than getting an asset themself. 9 mil is not easy to move. If you’re willing to retain on Nurse, that would help the return.
I also see a lot of comments about moving Korchinski to get pieces around Bedard. Korchinski is a piece that will be here for the Bedard era. Defenseman matter, not just his line mates.
