Uhh don’t think the islanders would give a potential top 5 pick PLUS a good offensive prospect for RNH

I’m So scared of trading that 1st rounder, I think rnh locks the isles into a playoff spot but if there is a freak injury and he misses all season during training camp then the isles are with out their probably top 10 first and don’t have hosang
Huh? RNH, Drai and McDavid couldn't get their team into the playoffs!!
How the hell is RNH alone going to do it??
He's a solid #2......but let's not get carried away.
Personally I wouldn’t. RNH hasn’t shown he’s more than a 2/3 line player. That’s a big return for someone with his deficiencies.
Barry trotz fixes the defense alone, lehner is a young career .915 save percentage goalie that just had 2 of the best goaltending coaches available brought in (one as coach one as director of goaltending) the isles biggest hole is that second line center and rnh fills it perfectly

Sometimes miracles
I'm envious of your optimism!
Trade RNH for that and the Oilers could have a Bottom 5 offense, even if McDavid plays at a Hart level again.
The depth isn't there to make the trade and compete.

No reason for the Oilers to get worse in the short term in the hope that potential turns out and it isn't also worse in the long run.

Mackenzie is a hack!
I think the Oil are actually going to want more. They are going to argue that JHS is a throw-in and a top 5 protected isn't going to cut it.
With that said if they do take this trade i'd do it, but i'm still not sure it'd be enough to get us into the playoffs with our defense as is.

This still fails to pass a fundamental test. The Oilers aren't trading good roster players for draft picks.
If I were the NYI I'm not sure I would be trading my draft picks for roster players either.

If this was edm pre mcdcvid i would say yes.
They dont want to keep waiting for people to develop when they have the best player in the league wasting his talent. You guys need to support this guy asap. By the time that pick develops it will be 3-4years of wasted time with mcd and now you lost RNH.

Guessing that would be more interesting to the Oilers, but is going to get into the territory of no from many Islander fans.
Personally i'd rather just roll with what we have and do poorly and get that high 1st again and deal Nelson for a late first at the deadline.
Honestly though, Oiler fans may be smarter than their GM so anything that comes up with a lot of "nos" here could easily be reported on TSN in a few hours, lol.

RNH for Nelson and Ho-Sang straight up. Both will be roster players for the Oilers. Thoughts?

That I would have no reservations with. Thumbs up in my book....and far less of a gamble for the Oil as JHS is still an unknown, but Nelson will pot them the most boring and uninspired 20-25 goals a season that you'll ever see.

Not super high on either player tbh id probably say no but this is a fair deal IMO. Good offer.

RNH looks to be locked in on McDavid’s LW. He’s a 50-60 point player in his own right, he could hit 70 or more on McDavid’s wing. He’s only 25 years old and is coming off a year where he was pacing to hit career best scoring numbers, and that was when he was playing C with Milan Lucic as his primary winger.
Compare and contrast to Brock Nelson, who just played all 82 games in a season and managed 35 points. One more than the much maligned Strome. For some reason the Isles also gave him 4.25 million.
Edmonton should have absolutely no interest in him as a base for RNH. Picks and problem children are also of no interest. We’ve downgraded our forwards massively over the last three seasons, there’s no reason at all to do it again just to pick up futures that COULD be good.
Im not overly high on Ho-Sang either. It doesn’t look like he’s progressed much in Bridgeport.
The pure futures package is of negative interest. We want to win hockey games too.
Frankly Edmonton isn’t interested in moving Nuge at all, never mind for expensive downgrades. Totally get you wanting to go back to the Edmonton well that’s been so good to you, but we’ve bled more than enough talent your way. Poach somewhere else.
