Make Nuge feel nice and secure

Created by: Oilyboy
Team: 2019-20 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 27, 2019
Published: Aug. 27, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Hockey trade, suggested elsewhere by a Rags fan. Rangers could let Pulju marinate in Finland for a year and become cap compliant most likely.

The year will not be great for the Oil, so why not just make Nuge feel loved. With these two on his wings, he will have a lot of space and be quite content at even strength.

Plus that second line will rack up over 200 pims even if Nuge gets no penalties. They might get caved on offence, but still kinda fun hey!

dead serious question. do you think it would benefit the oilers more to put drai and nuge together and let mcdavid carry a line?

Yes I was pondering putting McD on the "second" line here with these two insane wingers, with a top line of Nuge-Drai-Neal forcing teams to have harder choices over match ups. Would it work? I have no clue.

I think drai found his game last year with mcdavid as a winger. if im not mistaken (probably am) didnt they have nuge on the wing with drai in that small sample size? i feel like nuge is the better true center and drais game is best suited as a winger. but they could make some real depth by finding the right combo of these guys.

Not entirely sure but it shouldn't be too difficult to find a way to maximize those 3 in the top 6

Ranger don’t accept that. Lemieux brings a unique element and puljujarvi’s value is shot
