Obviously RHN will bring in more than a late first round and 2 marginal prospects, but he would not get anywhere close to what the Leafs gave up for Kessel for instance.

Do you think Columbus would give the Oilers Horton who they signed for 7 years at 5.3?

No body wants to come out and say what they think RHN is worth.

Because of his physique and style of play he will not be a prototypical franchise centre like Kopitar or Getzlaff, or Toews or Staal or Tavares, or Backes or Spezza. But the Oilers are now committed to him being their guy.

In a heartbeat.
