Proposal: Nugent-Hopkins for Carlo and Backes

[Dan Kelly]

RNH plays LW

Dude i know you are trying to support your argument that Nuge is permanently on wing but fact is he's back at center again and Leon is back on McDavids wing. Nuge plays effective equally as well at center or wing! That's great versatility to have!

Every team has their homer fans. And in this thread there's a few die hard Bruins homers.

I keep looking for someone to say Bazinga

 

[KlefDown]

Nuge is quite honestly one of the most underated players on HF and probably the league

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

reading this might be the worst thing that's ever happend to me.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Because Carlo is the offensive, puck moving defenseman we need! And let's add Lucic 2.0 to this equation as well! What a smart guy you are OP.

Probably because he hasnt broke 60 pts yet. Hes young enough to change that and I hope for the oilers sake he does.

 

[DakrSnooze]

Deal makes no sense for either teams line up but in terms of value Edmonton gets slaughtered.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Carlo would be nice to have, but the last thing the Oilers need is another 6m dollar boat anchor of a contract.

It's a strong "no" on this one.

 

[Pucklington]

In no world would that get RNH.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

How is this guy allowed to post in this section still.

All of his trade proposals are made to start bickering between fan bases

Traffic is how this site makes money. Threads like this produce traffic. /end

Carlo is a defensive dman and Edmonton could really use a good one of those. Not really a relevant point to compare point totals.

That said, no from Bruins and no from Oilers.

Why would the Bruins say no? Ridding them of the Backes contract would be a boon

 

[tony d]

I can see The Nuge going to Boston but not for that package. Boston wants Krug they'll have to offer up Krug.

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Nugent-Hopkins, Ryan ($6,000,000)



Backes, David ($6,000,000)
Carlo, Brandon ($789,167)

No way bosTon does this.

Some Oiler fans aren't grasping the fact that just because you guys come out worse does not mean the deal actually makes sense to be made on our end. The Bruins need a TOP 6 RW and then a 3C. There are only 2 more years of Backes (with the cap increasing). We have a 22yr old RFA top shutdown Dman that we need to sign and keep because he is of a lot of importance to our team. We would be trading away a player we know we need @ 22yrs old, for a player we don't actually need (and can get what we do need through FA - i.e. Mark Stone) all so we can unload 2 years of a $6m salary? Or are the people still criticizing still unable to get below face value here?

 

[BringJordanHome]

Please till me This is a troll...

 

[noice]

Yeah maybe Spooner and Lucic gets that done.

And Cagguila, Benning or be part of it for more

 

[ManofSteel55]

This is not appealing to Edmonton. We're having a hard time scoring goals from our 2nd - 4th lines, and the solution is to move our best player who isn't on the top line and replace him with an overpaid, past his prime 4th line grinder? Makes no sense at all, even if Carlo is coming back.

 

[ManofSteel55]

We're looking for Top 6 RW and 3C. Which one would RNH fit best? It's my understanding if RNH isn't playing Center, he is playing LW, correct?

Or is this a stupid assumption.

He has played C and LW, but he's good enough and smart enough that there is no reason to think that he couldn't play RW.

 

[McFlash97]

I think Carlo and RNH should have similar value. Backes is negative at this point. Carlo is one of the best young defensive defensman in the NHL. I wouldn’t trade him unless we are getting a bigger fish.

lol , RNH value blows Carlo out the door, Even Chiarelli isn't biting on this ... sorry man

 

[McFlash97]

RNH doesn't get you Carlo

Here I'm thinking Bruins fans at least have an objective look at things .....

hotdam

Carlo isn't getting you Nuge.
