"Nygard sounds promising and is a good fit here. He immediately slots in on the Oilers second line, with a centre like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins or Leon Draisaitl. He has a chance to do something with the opportunity handed to Tobias Rieder, Ryan Spooner, Drake Caggiula, Jesse Puljujarvi, Kailer Yamamoto and others last season. It won’t be difficult to accomplish more than they did, but the Oilers will be hoping for much more, not 0 to ten goals but 15 to 20."

This is glorious. No wonder he chose Edmonton over Calgary though. There, he steps immediately into a top 6 nhl spot. Here, he is fighting dube and mangiapane for the 4th line lw position, two guys who put up over a ppg in the AHL, a much better league.
Edmonton's roster is so unbelievably weak and yet they are a cap team.
