However, his passing is immaculate. Like Oates, Tanguay or Thornton he has the ability to draw players towards him with his stickhandling ability and eventually drawing a 2 on 1 scenario, which then opens up another skater and RNH can hit him seemingly wherever that player is on the ice.
With all that, Oates would be a hell of a player to draft especially for the Oilers and what they are trying to build. What I am trying to say is that RNH is strictly a comlplimentary, playmaking player and would not be able to lead a team or be the #1 guy like Duchene can.

Thanks for the report! I appreciate the time and effort writing it!
Adam Oates would be superb! (If one can dream) However I hope RNH can be as good as the guy in my avatar, Doug Weight in his prime years.
And I don't think RNH needs to lead the team since it's Horcof, err Hall's team. I do agree with the pass first approach he has, and I think that's perfect for Eberle.
