Point+Gourde or Drai+RNH

[VoluntaryDom]

I'm interested to see what public opinion on this is. I find both of these Oilers overrated (especially Nuge) so I think it is definitely the Tampa duo. But I'm interested in this result.

Not a fan of The Nuge.

I'm also not sure how much of a product of Tampa's offense Gourde is.

However; given the salaries involved here; I'll go with Point and Gourde...

Gotta be what; about $14 million to maybe a couple million if that?

Oilers.

Drai + RNH, not close

Drai + RNH, not close

Please elaborate. To me RNH is the weak link here.

Draisaitl > Point > RNH > Gourde

Pretty easily the Oilers duo for me.

Gourde is far too unproven so far, he's also 2 years older than Nuge.

I find Point and Gourde to be the overrated ones, both are unproven and benefit greatly playing on a very deep Tampa team. Not a fan of RNH and I think Oiler's fans overate him big time but I do think he's a solid #2 center. As for Draisaitl, he's shown he can put ~75+ points a season on a terrible team with no top 6 forwards other than himself, McDavid, and RNH. Both of the Oilers guys have to rely on 5v5 to get points since the Oilers PP is terrible and their scoring from D is one of the worst in the league.

Close but Drai and the Nuge.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Draisaitl and RNH and I don’t think it’s really that close.

If Nuge is considered the weak link among these four, its more evidence that he is highly underrated around the league. Drai and Nuge easily.
