Value of: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

[Broberg Speed]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has this year @ 6 M so he would essentially be a rental but in this scenario your GM would be authorized to talk to Nuge's agent about an extension. I added this fictional enactment because it is rumored Nuge wants to re-sign in Edmonton but is looking for 7 million per season.

Offers for Nuge as purely a rental followed by offers for Nuge with an agreed at extension of 7 M over an unspecified period of time. Let's say a 6 year extension to simplify the valuation of Nuge to your team. Basically I want to see what Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is worth on the trade market and his worth re-signing contract wise.

Personally I'm looking for a goaltender or left shot defenceman so If you have them give it a go.

Once a player's cost-controlled, RFA-born years of his career are gone, there's no putting the genie back in the bottle. The extensions for Turris, Pacioretty, Stone and Pageau increased the value of the futures returned, but it didn't unlock good NHL players with term, which is what I think you're hoping to find and what would motivate the Oilers to not roll with him as an own-rental.

Nobody looking to upgrade at center/left wing ?

No one is trading for a free agent to be, & money he's seeking. With expansion, good luck

Give or take a little i would say as a rental, 1st + later pick + b prospect
With extension roster player (cap) + 1st + top prospect

 

[McMozesmadness]

Please god don’t let Nuge go, he’s a beast

We need to bring him back

All teams should be looking to improve their rosters.

 

[Kublakhan]

any free agent looking for big money in the next few seasons is a hard trade because of the cap situation, that is unless you are the Sabres they you pay big money to anyone..

Good shot at Buffalo but over half on the Oilers board seem to think Nuge is worth 7 million. I don't, thus the proposal thread.

He's not getting moved lol.

Nuge is a good complimentary player, but paying him $7 million over the term he wants is James Neal potential territory

Oilers aren't moving him. RNH is a key piece of this team.

Just for fun, maybe something around Brannstrom from Ottawa?

He'd pretty much be looked at as a rental. Teams likely aren't looking to commit to anyone at the TDL, especially for that kind of cap hit.

If I'm Edmonton I don't f*** around with RNH. Just offer him a $6.5m x 7. Or $7m x 6, I don't know. But he's worth more as a high scoring wing for McDavid/Draisaitl then he is to other clubs as a center.

But having said that, if Edmonton wants to move him now, I'm sure the Jackets would be interested. If he is willing to re-sign at a very reasonable $7m x 6, then the Jackets could offer your pick of the goalies (Merzlikins, potential star G). We could talk about D instead, perhaps Gavrikov, but I think the Jackets need him more than the Oilers do. The Oilers have tons of D coming, they just need to rent a good top 4D stopgap, not pay up for a young top 4D.

 

[Brown Cat]

Unless he asks for 7+, we may keep him.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Nuge is a great player and is a homegrown success for the oilers. I can see him resigning and would be very surprised if he’s traded

Columbus makes a lot of sense IMO as RNH is a good fit for Torts’ system. Elvis and Gavrikov are intriguing but I would be interested in Domi myself- best buds with McDavid, and his style of play would make him an ideal winger on the top line I’d bet. If it doesn’t work out for us then no worries, he is an RFA in two years and we can move on.

Would need a plus though- Domi+ what for a signed RNH?

Can't say I know much about the player but skill is skill which seems to be Brannstrom's calling card.

I see Brannstrom is back in the lineup and I'll pay close attention to him while the Sens kick the living crap out of the Flames during the next four consecutive hockey games.

 

[McFlyingV]

Just keep him if 7M is the price. Ideally you'd want him at 6 or 6.5 but not worth losing him over 500k-1M. He brings a strong defensive game on the wing without the centre responsibilities, gives you a fall back option at centre if someone gets injured, and he's produced 59G and 158P in his last 168GP (29G 77P pace over 82). You're not finding a replacement for that in free agency so letting him go over a 1M difference in opinion would be a big mistake. He works well with McDavid, he works well with Draisaitl, and he's versatile. He's not a star player but he's a good 1st line winger and above average 2nd line centre if he ever needs to fill in.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I am sure that McDavid would love for his team to be in the middle of a playoff race and then for Holland to tell him he traded his line mate.

 

[steady]

Jets offer 2021 Seconed round and David Gusafsson

 

[The Moose is Loose]

He absolutely won't be moved

 

[Spawn]

The oilers would likely let him walk in the offseason before they trade him at the deadline.

That being said, RNH wants to be in Edmonton. The Oilers want him to be in Edmonton. Holland loves overpaying vets in term and dollar. The recipe is there for a deal to get done sooner or later.

Whether it’s a good contract.... that will be a different question.
