Thread: Is this close MTL EDM COL - Summer of 2019
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>Both RNH and Drouin are 1st line LWs now. the Drouin project at center last year showed Drouin can be a solid #2 C nothing more. RNH before McJesus and Drai showed he wasn't cut out for the #1 C spot and was a solid #2 C. At the moment RNH is on the wing of the best player in the league, Drouin is on the wing of yet another winger... So of course RNH has the edge in this argument, hands down. Habs can't really argue this. But put Drouin on McJesus's wing and RNH with MTL and I'd think RNH would put up similar stats to what Drouin will be doing and Drouin would be putting up similar stats to what RNH would will be doing with McJesus. both are incredibly close in terms of skillsets.

It would be a lateral move for the Habs in this situation, not worth it considering RNH is 2 years older. and I don't see how this help EDM since they are super thin on the wing.</div></div>

Try reading the above posts. RNH scores more (and always has) sans McDavid.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>Did RNH not spend 50% of last season playing with Mcdavid? Drouin was forced to play (and be the best player on his line) as 1st line C for the first time last year while RNH was put on the wing beside McDavid. There is a big difference there</div></div>

Nugent-Hopkins played just 13 games with McDavid last year. Thirteen.

But even putting that aside, here's a comparison of their first 4 seasons (since Drouin has only played 4):

Drouin
19: 70, 4-28-32 +3 0.46p/g
20: 21, 4-6-10 +1 0.48 (also had some AHL time)
21: 73, 21-32-53 -13 0.73
22: 77, 13-33-46 -28 0.60

Nugent-Hopkins
18: 62, 18-34-52 -2 0.84 p/g
19: 40, 4-20-24 +3 0.60 (lockout year)
20: 80, 19-37-56 -12 0.70
21: 76, 24-32-56 -12 0.74

(Age: GP, G-A-P +/- points/game)

McDavid wasn't even in the league in any of these seasons. I'm not seeing where Drouin is showing a "higher upside" or even "producing similarly" to Nugent-Hopkins.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mk458</b></div><div>As an oilers fan, that's pretty fair value. But now that we've drafted Bouchard, and we've got Bear coming too, I don't see them giving up that much for an offensive dman. Not to mention, without Nuge, we have pretty much 0 top 6 wingers... It's sort of solving a problem and creating another one. Just my opinion!</div></div>

Well put. This time next year Edmonton has 4 right-shooting d-men (in addition to Larsson and Benning) who will be pushing for NHL work: Bouchard, Berglund, Bear and Persson.

Although I don't have a problem with the trade per se, it doesn't really fill a need in Edmonton and losing RNH would be a high price to pay.
