Funny how some just don't get it.The Oilers are a very weak team that have no toughness barely any grit and no players that are willing to use their size if they do have it.Ryan Nugent Hopkins picking him would just continue to exacerbate this big problem even further.
Hall-Galchenyuk-Eberle
MPS-Gagner-Hemsky
Whitney-Larsson
Petry-Marincin
This is the best outcome for Edmonton in the future.^
Oilers will get either the #1 or #2 pick, since they are 8 points behind the Avs with 8 games to go. Basically they have to decide who is the best forward, since it's clear that Larsson is the best Dman and should go in the top 2.
I would look into getting rid of the smaller, no grit forwards that the Oilers currently have than bypass RNH if the Oilers truly feel that he is going to make a major impact at the NHL level.
That means moving Gagner, Cogs, Brule, whomever, do it. Just like last year, to think that passing on Hall because you want a Center in Seguin. Trade your current wingers for a center instead.
