Proposal: Montreal and Edmonton

[Pierre Lebrun]

Revisiting an old favorite here. Needs may have changed over the course of the season and as we get closer to the draft. Is Edmonton looking for a top LW? Do they need to shed a little cap?

Galchenyuk for RNH.

Think this train of thought should be dropped. Oil don't want to move RNH

 

[EDMOILERS9729]

After we saw the crazy chemistry of mcnuge at the end of the season where Nuge went over ppg and McDavid was near 2 ppg, he is pretty much untouchable. Only way he gets traded is in a package for a young top pairing D.

 

[Dan Kelly]

there's no reason now for the Oilers to do this with Nuge having success on McDavid's wing and still signed for another 3 years at $6 mil/per. i like Galchenyk but i think the Oilers would be looking elsewhere if they were in the market to trade him. the value is there though.

 

[yababy]

Nuge is a better center and winger than Galchenyuk

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Nuge > Galchenyuk. Zero point to this. Happy paying Nuge an extra mil.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

No.

 

[DaPhazz]

No.

 

[Skobel24]

Smaller sample size, but Nuge looks like a better winger than Galchenyuk. Add in the face that he can play C really well, and has chemistry with McDavid? Easy pass for Edmonton.

 

[A91]

I would be interested in Galchenyuk I am a fan of his at LW.
Just not for Nuge.

 

[rent free]

Oil say no

 

[Captain Controversy]

Lol Montreal fans before hates the idea of Galchenyuk for nuge, now they want nuge. Suck it.

 

[Ragdoll]

Lol there better be a fat plus coming the other way from MTL. Not even close.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Habs should be pursuing a Career via draft and free agency. They don't have the assets to trade for one.

 

[Runner77]

Lol Montreal fans before hates the idea of Galchenyuk for nuge, now they want nuge. Suck it.

Yeah, a few Montreal fans. Why don't we use rumor forum logic to paint a whole fan base with the same brush. How grand.

"Suck it"? What are you, 12?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Easy to look better when you are playing with McDavid...

 

[HenrikW]

I would do this with the 3rd for the 10th. But MTL wont give that up, they are bound to add Zadina to their 10 billion leftwingers

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Easy to look better when you are playing with McDavid...

Well he was on pace for 30 goals and 60 points before he got injured and that was with playing 0 seconds with McDavid. And he did that playing center with excellent defensive play.

Aka a hell of a lot more than Galchenyuk has done

 

[Skobel24]

Easy to look better when you are playing with McDavid...

He looked better even when he wasn't with McDavid.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Easy to look better when you are playing with McDavid...

He was on pace for 30-30-60 before he saw a second with McDavid. He was largely saddled with Lucic, actually.

 

[La Bamba]

I'd rather keep RNH at just 1.1M more. At least he can comfortably slide to C if there is a need for line shuffling. He clicks with McDavid and looks like a 6M dollar caliber winger.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

He looked better even when he wasn't with McDavid.

But he wasnt playing wing when he was not with McDavid.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Easy to look better when you are playing with McDavid...

It's a only a coincidence that a guy who was never able to hit 60 points , was a ppg+ as soon as he played with one of the best players in the world... And it was a huge sample size.

Seriously, I would rather keep Galchy who is able to get close to ppg at C , while playing with lesser talents.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

But he wasnt playing wing when he was not with McDavid.

So he was still doing better while playing a harder position while not next to McDavid, is your argument supporting that RNH is the better player now?

The poster said RNH is a better winger than Galchenyuk. The only time RNH played wing was when he was on McDavids line.
And I responded by saying its easy to look better when playing with Mcdavid.
Im sure if Galchenyuk was playing with a legit number 1 center instead of Danault, Drouin or De la Rose, he would look much better.
