I think the Oilers should have waited a season to see how his injury plays out, but the kid has only had one injury, and since 1990 only four players - Crosby, Stamkos, Kovalchuk and Jagr - have more PPG than Nuge before age 20 with at least 100 games. There is risk, but any contract has risk. If he stays healthy and the cap increases as it should, this will be a good deal for the team.
