coryberg Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 He will get more on the open market than I would be willing to pay... but if he comes home for 4.5mil per I would be all over it. Could see Seattle swooping in and taking him in the ED though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't scared last year, I'm even less so this year with both Hughes and Rathbone already here.

ShawnAntoski Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 2 hours ago, Patrik Laine said: Elliott Friedman reports on the contract negotiations of Oilers RNH. They have gone sideways. Would be worth a look to see what he is seeking for a contract. Can be our 2c or 3c or winger fills a huge hole where ever. 6.5 million would be nice and unlike sam Reinhart it costs no picks or players. https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/report-oilers-contract-talks-with-ryan-nugent-hopkins-have-gone-sideways-003236869.html RNH will be a better add than Reinhart (imo) cause he actually tries to be a responsible centre; and especially, with the cost: only cap. If they are able to sign RNH and kept there draft picks this would be a perfect aggressive offseason - a 2C or a 3C that is not just good at faceoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Good player, but not really a fit here. If we were sitting with several million in free cap space, had already constructed most of a contending lineup, with a top notch top-4 D, and three excellent centremen already in place, then adding a guy like RNH could make a lot of sense. But he’s definitely not our centre depth solution. He a very good hybrid C/W who you’d want to insert into a lineup as a swingman, not as an everyday centreman.

IMO he is worth a maximum of five million for a maximum of five seasons. Good post, pretty much exactly what I was thinking he's worth, especially in a flat cap. He would give us some options, he's a pretty good play maker and scorer, I wonder how he would be paired with Podkolzin, a kid who never stops fighting for the puck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I'd love to get RNH, but it's really not in the cards for us. Would be a huge blow to the Oilers though. The last thing they need to be doing now is losing their offense outside of McDavid and Draisaitl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) I’d be interested but for nothing more than $6.5M for like 4 or 5 years. RNH - Pettersson - Boeser Höglander - Miller - xxxx Pearson - Horvat - Podkolzin Motte - Graovac - MacEwen That’s got a chance to be a really good forward group. Only issue is no real right handed center. Edited May 30, 2021 by Pears 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take him in a second Likely Ferland is not able to play, so having RNH in our top nine forward mix allows Miller to play centre. Then we have a really strong centre group, and good sets of winger on each line too. That kind of skill, and 4 guys who are good at centre (Petey, Bo, Miller, and RNH) really give Green the ability to move guys around in the top nine depending on who is going good that game. 6.5 seems a bit much though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Good player but is going to be heavily overpaid and the decline in production is a concern. High risk that whoever gets him regretting it in a couple of years. Edited May 30, 2021 by King Heffy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 He’d be nice at 5M but probably wants 6-7M. We don’t really have cap atm though and could use a RH winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naslund.is.king Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Like Jones i don't see RNH wanting to come play for the Canucks. Moneys one thing but aside from that i don't see either wanting to jump on another rebuilding team Edited May 30, 2021 by naslund.is.king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
