Rumor: Rumour and Proposals Thread: Is Kenny "Chiasson" a LWer?

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Nuge just doesn't seem like a guy that has that level of intensity needed for playoffs. I know the fan base is all emotionally attached to him since we've had him since he was like 13, but at the end of the day he's an expensive complimentary winger.

With that being said, I don't trade him UNLESS we're getting atleast a top-6 player or top-3 defenceman in return.

I get unreasonably upset when I hear trade rumors about Nuge. He should be an Oilers lifer.

Why would you possibly consider trading Nuge for anything less that that. Frankly that is setting the bar pretty low.

I wouldn't, that's why I wrote that I wouldn't.

What's your point? Are you trying to start an argument with someone that you agree with?

I think the way you worded it made it seem like a top 3 defenseman or top 6 winger would be an overpay (as in you wouldn’t accept anything less than an overpay for Nuge), but it would only be one if it was a top 2 or a top winger (imo).

We have enough real arguments here as is, no need to get antsy over imaginary arguments as well.

I guess I'm confused why you would trade a guy who is already a top-6 player, who scores 60-ish points/year, and who can play center quite well if 97/29 get injured..... for a top-6 player? Like, he is already that guy. If you are wanting to trade him for the same player, but a player who is bigger and brings different intangibles to the game, okay I guess, but good luck finding that player, and especially trading for him. I whole-heartedly disagree with going down in skill btw, and would not trade RNH for a player with "more intangibles", I was just using that as an example.

Nuge is also the perfect player for the team in that he's about the best possible player we could have without being a high cap hit. He would be 7.5 max I'd think, especially here where there is history and we can offer the extra year.

You guys need to set the bar low on a return for RNH. He's a year from free agency, his value is likely a 1st round pick. If were moving him, it indicates to me that he's asking for a lot more then Holland's willing to pay. In saying that I could see him as part of a potential OEL deal. RNH+Russell+1st 2021 for OEL+Kuemper

Not at all. But wouldn't one set the bar a lot higher than a top 6 winger to even consider such a trade?

• I don’t post often but everyone who is concerned about trading Nuge is glossing over the part of the tweet and subsequent tweet where he says he hasn’t heard Nuge specifically it’s just his guess because he’s heard Nuge’s name in the past which could be last week or years ago. My money is on a lhd moving out

Who even said the Oilers are looking to move him? No one, some random guy on Canucks Twitter speculated, literally put his own guess.

I wasn't talking a 1-for-1 deal, are we still that scorned from Chiarelli? Haha

unless there is a Klefbom or nurse move for a scoring forward, this makes no sense to me

Yep. He heard Edmonton is going to be making moves and then just threw the RNH thing as his opinion.
