Nurse - 30
Campbell - 33 (AHL)
Kane and Ekholm are 33 and 34 as well. This team is old, and they have a terrible cap situation and no prospects and are short picks.
Leon has 102 points in 64 career playoff games. He's scoring at 130-point pace is the playoffs and has 1 career win in the 3rd round of the playoffs. Other than Mcdavid who is not wrapped up, why does he want to stay with this team? If I'm Draisaitl, I'm not signing until they can sign McDavid, do the Oilers wait to sign both together and risk Leon walking?

Wow, I had no idea that Nurse is 30! It just seems like he should be younger to me. And still five more years of that albatross of a contract...unbelievable!
