Even with retention he will require sweeteners to move.

Multiple 1st round picks to start still. He's still overpaid by quite a bit at 6mil per season and has term.

He also isn't going to waive his NMC.

Edmonton has two options:
1. Keep him and try to find a D partner that gets the most out of him stylistically.
2. Buy him out.

Trade isn't feasibly on the table.

I would say 6M is reasonable for a top 4 that has some offense to him. Zadorov is reportedly seeking 6.5M, we'll see if he gets it but Nurse would be getting something in the high 5s in this market. You're right though that a trade isn't feasible as the Oilers eating that cap only makes sense if they end up getting a 9M+ talent for 6M or less (which is highly unlikely).

It’s a reasonable retained amount to dump him but he would still be overpaid and require assets to move. That contract is horrendous and he appears to be regressing and has so much term left. He is a second pairing on a bad defensive team that gets hidden by how dynamic offensively EDM is. As a Sharks fan I feel it w/Vlasic but it might end up being a lot worse.

It takes contracts like Nurse and Campbell to not get a cup out of prime McDavid and Drai (tbd but still)

With Campbell at least they don't have to play him since they have Skinner who is not great but good enough. The money could be better spent but paying 8M on goaltending isn't crazy anyway. It's much less problematic than paying a top 4D top 2 money on a team that needs help on defense, especially when he plays badly. They should just look to buy out Campbell this off-season and replace him with Gustavsson if they can acquire him.
