Yeah after trading EK let's trade Hoffman for the Nuge and make sure there's zero chemistry left on this team as we go into next season without a 1st round pick.
Great stuff. A+!

no.
There comes a point where you have to plan for some of your high end picks to come in and spread out your dollars on ELC's and bridge deals.
The scenario being put forward here is that we sign Duchene long term, then bring RNH at 6 million per to play behind him through 20-21.
Logan Brown has to at least become our #2 C in that window.
You can't be Ottawa Senators competitive with Duchene at 7-8 million and RNH and 6 million down the middle long term. I realize salaries are going up, but that isn't an elite combo like Crosby/Malkin that you will pay top dollar to build around.
Don't get me wrong, RNH is OK, and he might have another gear somewhere else, but I don' think that's highly likely actually. Not the right play IMO.
All your favorite players were traded to that team you really hate...or not, IdkGuys, I was in enemy territory for the last 2.5 days (Montreal). Did I miss anything?
Side note: Whoever designed the road network in Montreal must have done it with his/her eyes closed. I hate driving in that city.
Thats not true at allRNH is barely a 2nd line C, and at that price, he'd solve zero of our problems. I can't believe Dorion would even consider making this deal, much less for Hoffman.
Thats not true at all
Pot holes galore. Factor that in with the stingy ass drivers down there. Worst driving experience in CanadaGuys, I was in enemy territory for the last 2.5 days (Montreal). Did I miss anything?

I still don't understand why we would acquire a more expensive OK 2C after we just shipped out the less expensive OK 2C?
I really don't like it, but I understand shopping Hoffman for a Klefbom, especially if you consider the loss of EK in that plan, but I can't imagine trading away Hoffman makes it any more fun for Duchene/Stone to hang around here with no high end snipers to play with.

i think hes a lot better than people giving him credit forRNH is barely a 2nd line C, and at that price, he'd solve zero of our problems. I can't believe Dorion would even consider making this deal, much less for Hoffman.
I just want Dorion to trade Ceci to EDM for a Taylor Hall-level player and for Eugene to be available to green light the trade.
Is that too much to ask?
Hoff+Ceci for RNH+Klefbom?
RNH is only 24.God, I don't want RNH.
They're putting him with McDavid now? Talk about shopping him out.
We won't pay Turris but we'll pay RNH?
How does that make any sense?
I like how the article says this:
"But do you ever trade a well-rounded centreman like Nugent-Hopkins for a winger in Hoffman? That’s a tough deal to swallow for Edmonton — unless you get a little something more in the deal and Hoffman comes in and scores 35."
Meanwhile, RNH is playing left-wing to make him more attractive.
