Nurse Puts Foot Down, Rejects Division Rival Trade

Darnell Nurse has made it clear he's not interested in staying in the division if Edmonton decides to move him, rejecting a trade to a rival team. The veteran defenseman still has leverage in this market, and he's using it to control his own destiny. This kind of no-trade clause power play can complicate a GM's plans, especially when you're trying to maximize return on a pending move.
