Wow that was not a good blog. I like RNH, but really, theres a lot of homerism going on here. Like already stated, it's pretty obvious that Horvat is far superior. If Stastny was a bit younger, I'd also take him over RNH.

Those are some mediocre numbers for most of those second line centres. I have always liked Nuge as a player but with the exception of his rookie season and last season he’s been a disappointment as a first overall pick.
And last year getting 19 of his points playing wing with McDavid sort of skews his numbers as a centre.
That being said I would have him on my team in a heartbeat.

Well the leafs better get him soon because at your age you don't have too many heartbeats left.

Backlund put up almost 50 points and doesn’t get scored on more than he produces like bo and rnh ...maybe If they weren’t both goal sucking and played a little 2 way hockey their teams would be closer to the playoffs 😝😝

if RNH was so good, how come whenever I see someone discuss the Oilers I read them say "The Oilers need more than just McDavid and Drasaitl"?

I thought seeing the title it was going to be quite the homer piece. But then you listed the competition and I said... huh. He’s right.

Homerism,
Yes this is an Oilers blog.

But Backlund also plays on a mildly successful team with a legitimate top pairing. Horvat > Nuge > Backlund so suck it

Lol 😝

Since he was drafted, I always chalked him up to Vinny Lecavalier...

I still stand by that.

Great hockey player.

And the Oilers still cant make the playoffs, and wont this year either.

Bet?

What's the word on McDavid and the injury? 100% for seasons start?

There any Oilers fans left on this site? Or have we all just said (frank) it and committed suicide?

This is known

Another reason why I like Nuge.....seems to be a good kid and not someone who becomes a headache or a drama queen like a lot of these other guys.....all these years of losing and incompetence and he just keeps going....I’m surprised he hasn’t snapped yet

Heelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooo there... Barely come here anymore- likely maybe twice in the last 3 months... Ever since they quit allowing tits and ass... and well the Coilers coilering... There isnt much to cheer about with this poophole team... Basically (frank) em until they start winning or if they ever start winning... ANd no I am not a bandwagoner - I just am sick and tired of losing year after year and now decade after decade...
