Proposal: Ryan Nugent Hopkins for Linus Ullmark - Revisited

[SeanMoneyHands]

Many on here said last summer for the Oilers to trade RNH for Ullmark. A full year later, I think this idea should very much be considered by both teams this summer. It helps both teams out and fits cap wise.

thats a real bad trade for oilers

It would be hard to trade Nuge, but I like an Ullmark -Skinner tandem way better than a Skinner - Pickard/other career backup tandem.

Replacing Nuge would be nearly impossible though.

The biggest obstacle would be getting both players to agree to go to the other destination, I think.

RNH is widely overrated, this trade makes the Oilers much better. RNH a ghost every playoff, gets to play on an insane PP and gets a bunch of secondary points. Bruins are a worse team doing this so I approve.

RNH fits the Oilers better than anyone else. Good player, but not the player the Bruins need.

RNH is too soft to play for the Bruins.

Draisaitl
Ceci

McAvoy
Ullmark

Dont know too much about Ceci but right shot d man who I saw get a lot of crap on these boards the last few seasons. Bruins seem to do well with somewhat-reclamation project D and thinking maybe he can do well on the second pair. Am I undervaluing him here or is he a complete bum? +/- looks real rough

Posting this right in the middle of Skinner blowing up the Oilers’ season is crazy

Didn't he beat one you guys up this year ? Or did he bully someone else

Ullmark isnt a playoff goalie, he will need a new contract, and goalies don’t pull that much value

RNH pads his stats by playing in the oilers offense, but Ullmark also has his stats padded by playing behind the oilers defense and having another starter to split games against good teams. Bruins only played ullmark one game against the leafs and they lost it, unless you think RNH would literally being a negative addition to the leafs I don't see how this makes things better for the leafs.

These playoffs have shown us three things about the Oilers:

1) Goaltending is still suspect
2) Def 3-6 is still suspect
3) Still need secondary scoring

Trading RNH for a goalie, you would hope solves one, but makes the secondary scoring piece an even bigger hole.

Besides, RNH probably says no.

Oilers need to replace Campbell salary with a good NHL goalie. That is not doing that.

Edmonton's forwards depth is already pretty bad. Trading RNH makes it worse.

No clue wtf you’re talking about.

This is going to be Draisaitl for one of the two Bruins goalies+

Ceci is dogshit but Edmonton isn't trading Draisaitl unless he says he wants out.

Trading Draisaitl for a goalie would be a monumental mistake. Look at Silovs, Vancouver threw a 6th at him years ago and now he's serviceable. It shouldnt be as hard as edmonton is making it look to have adequate netminding.
