Nuge is a great complimentary player that would help any team greatly. Bouchard is also quite excellent.Outside of McDrai, the Oilers have Hyman and Ekholm. End of list. I don't find anyone else on the roster that interesting.
Leafs win here.

Nuge is having another good season this year! He hasn’t been injured for quite some time. He’s a very excellent 1st line winger or 2nd line center who needs a play driving winger.Aside from his outlier year where he leached off McDavid, Nuge has been an inconsistent, oft injured, 2nd line winger his whole career. The term you used, "complimentary", is accurate. But it hardly means he's particularly interesting.
Bouchard could one day be excellent, yes. But his defensive game hasn't matured yet. If it doesn't he becomes an offense only guy that plays too many minutes because Edmonton has no depth.
