Wild hang up.

I agree that the WIld will not make that trade. I also expect Holland will trade Nugent-Hopkins as quickly as he can if Tippett relegates him to the bottom six. He has a lot of value and is likely to command a return that will benefit the team more than having him play maybe 10 to 12 minutes in a reduced role.

Who would he get in return that would improve the team do you think?

It would be difficult to replace RNH, he's a second line centre playing left wing because Edmonton also happens to have McDavid and Draisaitl. He has the skill and smarts to compliment either Draisaitl or McDavid, and would probably find good success playing with Athanasiou as well. He also happens to be a good penalty killer and a key contributor on the first power play unit. I don't think there's a GM out there that would agree to a deal that would make it worth moving RNH out of Edmonton right now. I'm not suggesting there aren't better players, or packages that would make sense for the Oilers, I just don't think other teams would give what it should take to acquire him.

For instance, if traded to Columbus:

RNH + Khaira = Anderson + Foudy + Jenner

To me that makes sense for the Oilers, but from the Blue Jacket perspective it may be too much to pay.

Why do you want Caggiula back? Especially when you're sending out your best PKer.

You do know that Boston offered Heinen for Khaira at the deadline, right? And Holland declined? Khaira has a lot more value than Drake does.
