Possibly getting RNH - while made fun of here on CP - would be a great pickup. If we were looking at Zucker and Kadri, he would be the best of the options we have explored so far. Great 2nd line center, seems to be defensively responsible, and managed to success even being covered in greasy Oil. Two years left until UFA.
I can't seem Edmonton letting go of him that easily though, so I imagine a Brodie and/or Bennett package would be involved. Less likely they would be exploring Frolik/Neal/Stone.
There's only three players worth trading for on the Oilers, and Nuge is one of them. I'd be curious if there is some smoke here.
