This. The Oilers don't want to pay Nurse over $4 million right now, but they will if forced and try to make it work.
The only offer sheet that has a chance of working has you giving up at least a first and third, plus a massive overpayment on the contract itself. With or without an unwritten code, that's just bad asset management.
