Value of: RNH to NYR

[bfaust30]

He had a tremendous regular season for EDM, but his play has slipped in the playoffs. I do not think Ryan Strome is the future 2C, and I think RNH would be a much better center for Panarin and Kakko. In a realistic world I would love to see the Rangers make a trade around Georgiev and the Carolina/Toronto 1st, but I'm not sure if that is enough.

Thoughts?

Can’t see edmonton trading Nuge unless they get a forward back.

Georgiev to EDM makes sense but not at that price imo.

RNH and Larsson for DeAngelo and Buchnevich

 

[Captain Mountain]

Georgiev and a late first is definitely not enough.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Georgiev and a middling to low 1st gets you a polite chuckle and a dial tone. Zero basis for a deal if that's what you've got to deal.

He has 7 points in 3 games, and has largely been fine. Our struggles have been defensive in nature. Nurse in particular has made some absolutely mind boggling poor reads and decisions.

The only thing I'd deal RNH for is in a package for a legitimate #1 defenceman. He should be a career Oiler and most of the local guys say he wants to stay long term.

Even if RNH doesn't want to sign an extension, Geogiev and a mid/late 1st is a borderline offer at best. Assuming he is interested in extending there is nothing reasonable the Rangers could offer.

 

[Cup or Bust]

I think the Oilers should keep RNH. He can play center, wing, powerplay, penalty kill. As long as his contract is reasonable, he is a pretty valuable player on the Oilers. I doubt there will be a trade worthwhile to trade him, unless they feel there is no chance they can resign him, then that would be a different story.

RNH isn’t the problem in Edmonton. I can’t see him being available for anything reasonable.

as the poster above you pointed out, even if he won't sign or prices himself out, Georgiev and a middling first is a pretty mediocre offer even as a deadline deal.

How is 7 points in 3 games slipping? He’s been fine, he’s also not playing with Drai and Yamo anymore which is where a lot of his success has come from.

 

[TGWL]

I don't see how we offer him a bigger contract than what he's currently making. That's a short term solution. A 1 year solution. It would also take more unless this was a deadline trade and Oilers were out of the playoffs. Even then, they probably look for ready players and not picks, potential goalies.

No interest. Rangers don't need to add another big salary. They easily have the picks and prospects to acquire a cheaper center with big upside if they desire.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Nuge in the playoffs sucks ? Lol yeah ok. He has 7 points. He plays the defensive parts on Connors line.

 

[Draiskull]

Is he not leading the NHL scoring this post season?
Plays on top line ES, top PK and top PP units on a team starving for top 6 talent.

Since when is a playoff scoring leader “struggling”

 

[Taytro]

This thread is a mess, Nuge isn't struggling one bit. Even if he doesn't want to re sign, Edmonton will be competing again next year. You dont become rental sellers if you're competing, they should use him for all he's worth, an internal rental type thing and hopefully go deep in playoffs with him then let him become UFA.

 

[cwede]

no thanks. no big changes for NYR this offseason,
not really ready to contend yet, and 4 big Cap Hits exping AFTER next season
certainly don't shed a 1st

and if/when they bring another big fish, i want him to be a few years younger than Trouba/Bread

He was referencing strome's play slipping. His wording wasn't great.

This.


Also, if Nuge was for some reason put on the market there would be a lot of teams that need a good 2c in the bidding. That offer isn’t close, at all.

 

[belair]

Simply put, Nugent-Hopkins isn't available.

Not a move the Rangers should make right now.

 

[Double Dion]

I'm a Flames fan. The Oilers need more two way players like RNH, not less of them. Too many of their forwards are one or the other entirely. McDavid needs someone responsible on his line since he can't cover his own end at all and leaves the zone early all the time.
