Best cash probably comes from forcing a trade at this point. Clearly the Oilers are lowballing him because Chia painted himself into a corner and has no easy answers to liberate cap space. So the only leverage the Greasers have left is to play chicken and hope he signs whatever they put in front of him once he's missed a few games.
If I were Nurse's agent I'd advise him to sign for one year only, and publicly demand a trade out of that hell hole. The mess they've created is only going to get worse over time, which is hilarious.
