It’s going to be a busy off-season for the Edmonton Oilers. The 2025-26 season hasn’t even finished yet, and it’s already been chaotic. They fired Kris Knoblauch shortly after falling in six to the Anaheim Ducks in the first round.

Darnell Nurse has requested a trade from the Edmonton Oilers, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and Mark Spector.

“This time, he was preemptive,” Friedman explained. “He said, ‘I’m not even going to have to make you ask me because I’m going to tell you I’m asking for a trade.'”
