Byram Arbitration, Oily Eyes Nurse Trade and More NHL Rumors – Hockey Writer – NHL Rumors

In today’s NHL rumors, the Edmonton Oilers have contacted players with no trade terms and conditions that may give up on them. Nurse Darnell is the one who was asked. What is the result of the conversation? Meanwhile, Buffalo Saber elected arbitration with defender Bowen Byram. What’s next? Finally, are Montreal Canadians considering Michael Matheson’s trade?

Oil Man Asks Nurse About His No Trade Terms

Elliotte Friedman reported in the final 32 thought podcast of the season that major veterans like Darnell Nurse and Adam Henrique were asked about their willingness to give up on their willingness to have no trade clauses. They both made it clear that they wanted to stay in Edmonton. Only Viktor Arvidsson is willing to go elsewhere because he knows he will get a better chance with the Boston Bruins.

It’s fascinating that the Oilers are willing to take risks and there may be Connor McDavid. Both are close friends, and McDavid undoubtedly hopes the Nurse will be part of the Oilers’ eventual victory in the Stanley Cup if they can. On the other hand, the nurse must point out that McDavid might stay with the Oilers because it is believed that McDavid would be more willing to move on if he wasn’t part of the long-term plan.

The nurse was locked into a deal until he was paid $9.25 million to him in 2023. Move him will free up a lot of upper space to do other things. However, because in various situations, he would also leave a hole in the oiler blue line.

Sabre chooses to conduct salary arbitration with Byram

The threat to the offer form is real and that something may have happened last weekend, with the Buffalo Sabres electing a salary arbitration with restricted free agent Bowen Byram. This closes the possibility of Byram providing tables. That’s good news.

The bad news is that Byram has two years until she becomes UFA, and the two-year agreement (now the table for arbitration) will lead Byram and his agent Darren Ferris in UFA status.

Buffalo must know if they didn’t trade immediately and they may not be able to do it next year.

The St. Louis Blues is still considered a leader in the byram trade. The returns are not clear, but Saber publicly stated that they hope to help their players, not futures.

Can Canadians trade Mike Matheson?

According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, Montreal Canadiens defender Michael Matheson could happen. After dealing and signing Noah Dobson, Canadians may not see Matheson as part of their long-term plan. He is in the final year of his current contract and can be re-signed, but he also has a reasonable ceiling number that he will be interested in if he intends to deal with.

Canadians have been and may continue to be active in the industry this season. The market is expected to host in the coming weeks, and Montreal is working to become a competitor.
