At 30 years old, Nurse has just experienced back-to-back losses in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Maybe he wouldn't mind a fresh start.

The 6-foot-4 lefty still gets the job done, coming off 28 assists in 76 games in 2024-25.

He has 300 career points (81 goals, 219 assists) and likely still has a number of solid years ahead of him.

Maybe it's time for other teams to pick up the phone and see if Nurse is truly available.
