As an Oilers fan, I think the Oil won't move out Nurse at all until the playoff picture is settled (either missing or losing in some round)...but I could see something like this at the Draft if Nurse doesn't end up being key to playoff success. Cap wise, it would allow the Oil to do a lot more. I would be surprised to see the Leafs do this though as Jetman said above, would be tough cap-wise. If you can't sign Nurse long-term, the risk of only having him on a cheaper 2 year bridge before UFA would be too much to give up all this for him IMO.
Also Nurse has only ever played the left side. Doesn't fit great here.
