Look, I am going put this nicely, RNH is not your answer for a number 2 C and I personally think he wont take a deal for anything under 7 if he is to leave Edmonton

disagree with this. Nuge as a 2C in MTL works extremely well. i don't get this gustaffson signing....we have a lot of solid young guns on D one of them will be ready to step up at a low cap hit. then we can pivot and move KK for something interesting.

Have you watched edmonton play? Nuge hasn't played center really in the pas two seasons. Mostly playing on Mcdavids wing this year and still isnt at a point per game lol

Based on Duchene, Schenn, Hayes and Stastny, I can't see RNH getting less than 7.25M AAV.

his numbers are inflated by playing w/ macjesus that should command a discount. dubas mega overpaid marner for that reason and we all see it today. yes marner has amazing hands, but half his points are flipping the puck to matthews who has one of the greatest wrist shots in nhl history.... how much of that is really 'creation'. same for nuge. i strongly doubt he touches anything above 6.5 nor should he.

Since hockey is a team sport you could use this argument about anyone, anytime, ever. He made the points, he get paid accordingly.

You thinking he doesn't deserve more is irrelevant. In this reality, he will. Like Marner.
