Hmm. I like him least of the top 4 to be honest but its cool to hear he's a fan. I certainly wouldn't be anywhere near upset if we picked him and Larsson isn't available.
Is Nugent-Hopkins really all that?

Oilers would be silly to pick RNH. At best he's a poor mans Taylor Hall while Couturier (sp?) is at best a very rich mans Dustin Penner. You guys already have an abundance of highly skilled players like Hall, Gagner, Eberle, and MPS. Finding a big body in front of the net and down in the corners who can play with those skill players should be a top priority.
no, finding a centerman that can complement Hall should be #1 priority
I think RNH has the vision, speed and skills to match Hall

I think you guys have more to worry about than that. How about getting a defence? Larsson would be a good start.
Listening to Bryan Murray yesterday, he said that Landeskog can line up as a C quite well. Not just 'he'll do', but quite well, so that likely chances a lot of the playing field. If they draft Landeskog as a winger period, then I could see them trying to move up to take a C with Nashville's pick + Ottawa's 2nd rounder, maybe even someone like Foligno if he's the piece necessary.
A lot of options for Ottawa.
No he isn't. RNH is a gifted playmaker. Hall is a bull in a china shop goal scorer. They would be perfect together.
I don't feel that he is. I don't feel like he's a top 5 pick...but I'm in the minority.

i was reading the ottawa citizen's sens blog (senatorsextra.com) and found this:
landeskog is the one about to crush the other kid. This was apparently taken from the bell capital cup archives.
