New York Islanders - San Jose Sharks

[SharksGM]

To NYI:

SJ 2nd 22
Brandon Montour (65)

To SJ:

Darnell Nurse (90) *50% retained

Seems like a fair price for a rental of a solid defensive veteran. Nurse should help me crawl above 8th seed; failing that, I can re-sell him at the deadline (in which case the pick will turn out better for Chris).

moving on from Nurse - He's a solid player except for the OA. That said I probably would not be resigning him with the paybump coming. Offered him to a few teams that might need some help. Dan's offer was acceptable.
