revisiting krug for RNH

I think it would be tough to get RNH now as he has found a home on McDavids wing. RNH could score 30+ player with McDavid all season.
Even though they(Oilers) need Krug, as soon as they trade RNH, they will need to fill that hole with someone.

I could score 30 with McDavid.

I kind of feel like this is a bad way to look at Nuge's value as a player though. if he's playing wing, he's no longer a center. if he's no longer a center, he's decent but not great winger. Kind of deflates his value as a center.

He should be used as a center or traded for an area of need. Then if they need a winger to play with MCD/Drai. Go get a Pacioretty, Simmonds, etc. ( natural winger) for less than it would cost to trade for a Nuge whose value is higher because he is a center.

Especially since EDM already has MCD and Drai down the middle, they can afford to lose Nuge as a center.

So why hasn't virtually every other player whose played with him done it?

Its crazy to think but not one single player has hit 30 goals next to McD yet. Not even Draisaitl.

i mean i was joking. The point is that they shouldn't cling to RNH because he's shown the ability to produce with McDavid, there will be a lot of guys in the league that can do that, they just have to find the right one.
