Value of: Ryan Nugent Hopkins to Boston

[lakai17]

What would Boston have to give up to bring in RNH?

Hypothetically of course as Edmonton doesn't need to send him packing.

RNH took a discount to stay in Edmonton and has a full NMC, he isn't going anywhere. But hypothetically speaking I'd guess Edmonton would ask for something around Carlo, he'd fill a huge need for them.

 

[EK392000]

He brings way more value than what he is paid, which is precisely the kind of contract EDM needs to be holding onto.

 

[Three On Zero]

His value to Edmonton is far higher than what his market value would be, you’d have to offer a substantial overpayment. He’s paid like a 60 point player who is coming off a 100 point season, likely Edmonton’s best contract, Hell if he has a few more 80+ point seasons it may be one of the better contracts in the league

 

[PuckG]

RNH goes nowhere and likely retires an Oiler (at least I hope so).

 

[The Nuge]

RNH says no, and it’s entirely irrelevant what Boston would offer

 

[Mr Kot]

Not really seeing a fit here, Oilers need him and his contract.

Makes no sense for edmonton. This is a team in must win mode.

Lindholm is out there. Schafele too. They are much more available.

RNH took a big discount on AAV to stay in Edmonton, there's no chance Edmonton asks him to move. Plus his contract is excellent value and will be for at least a few more years unless his production tanks.

DeBrusk Swayman and Bruins take Campbell back at full price would be a starting point.

But also it ain’t happening

That's an insane ask for a #2C that doesn't really excel at anything sans being the third most important piece to an all time power play.

But agree its not happening so not worth discussing.

It sure is but if Boston wants him and he’s not a piece being offered then I don’t see why Edmonton would trade him for less than a big overpay

That's kind of the point, his value to Edmonton is just too high. He's a cost controlled asset for a team that wants to become a contender

It could not be summer with out a few RNH’s trade threads.

Yep.

Even if he didn't have a 100 point season. Guy signed cheap af to stay and asked for a NMC.

Good luck getting him to waive unless last year or two.

 

[Hockeyholic]

If Draisaitl doesn't sign/is traded next off-season, they will need RNH. He plays Centre.

Lol and what has swayman done other than luck being on a generational regular season team? Rnh just put up 37 goals.

Lock the thread up Mods. Oil nation has spoken.

I did state hypothetically but it's hard to evaluate in a salary cap era understandably.

Not gonna lie, didn't know he hit 100pts this year. Very nice deal even if he does average 60-70pts, insanely valued if anything PPG or above.

 

[Melrose Munch]

Not happening.

The fact that its an "insane ask" is inextricable from the fact that its not happening/not worth discussing.

RNH is an all-situations, all-positions, homegrown, highly respected veteran coming off a 100 point season, paid $5.125m for 6 more years, and on a team that has one of the trickiest cap situations in the league. A logical response to a ridiculous premise is bound to sound ridiculous, but it would take a truly ridiculous package to get him out of Edmonton. I don't even really like that package from an Oilers perspective tbh

Except they don't get a say. I love RNH but if it makes the team better you trade him. It's not like trading him will hurt him. He is still a millionaire and will make more over the next 2 year than most will make in their life time of work.

Having said that I wouldn't be shopping RNH but if a team called and made a good offer that improved the team as a GM you aren't doing your job if you don't talk to him about waiving. NTC aren't about helping the team it's about the player wanting some control over where he goes team be damned
