Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
I think if Edmonton traded Nuge, like you said, they'd be looking for a true #1 defenseman but Nashville doesn't seem like they want to give up one of their top three. I think eventually both sides will cave in because I don't see where else Edmonton will get their defenseman from. Maybe Hamonic but he's not as valuable as NugeOriginally Posted by Axeman33
Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
I don't know that the Nuge is a true #1C and generally there are as many of those as there are true #1 Dmen, so hoping he might bring in said #1D might be optimistic.
Yes the RNH has skill, but a true #1C is better than 46% on faceoffs and can break the 60pt barrier... Temper your expectations Oilers fans.

Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
That would be a huge mistake for Edmonton!
Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
I know it's easy to forget but he's still only 22 years old. The faceoff portion of playing center is one of the hardest to adapt for a lot of these kids and he's still learning.
He's the #1C on Edmonton and I'd venture to say if he got traded to Nashville, he'd be their #1C as well.
He'll grow as he ages and the experience will come. Not every young center who plays in the NHL is a great face off guy; very few I'd say.

Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
If I'm Nash, I don't trade Jones for RNH. I would try to trade Weber for a center first. They can absorb that hit by promoting from within and then use that salary for Jones and Forsberg.

Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
If I'm Edmonton, I'd gladly take Weber and his contract for RNH.

Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
I think Nashville would be better off pursuing Johansen from the Jackets... but it is hard to trade away Weber so they may not be able to stomach the move

Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
Face it, the Kings are definitely going to scoop Johansen as part of their bi-annually trade-raping of the Jackets.
Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
Johansen for Greene and Pearson. And maybe a second round pick. You heard it here first folks!
Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
I laughed because this is funny... then I felt sad because it is probably true. What odds can I get for the Kings winning the cup right now?

Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
4-1 the Kings win the Cup. It doesn't hurt that their in the worst division in hockey
Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
I was able to snag them at 12/1. Not their lowest point but they were 11/1 coming into the year so there was value.
Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
LA will have a more difficult 1st round opponent coming from the Central than they will when they play in the 2nd round.

Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
True, I figured though if they get past the first round, the second round should be an easy victory
Re: [Rumors] Nugent-Hopkins for a Nashville d-man?
Only if the Preds can make one of these deals we are talking about here and really get their act together. Otherwise, I'm not so smitten with this team.
