Hell no

Oilers can’t pass on that any faster

Isnt it a fair trade

No reason for Oilers to do this. Its WAY too much to give up for those two players.

Its a lot to give but Jack Hughes will become an elite if not Franchise player and Severson will add a lot of depth to the oilers defense

With any luck Hughes will become Nugent-Hopkins. But we have Nugent-Hopkins already, so why not just keep him?

My opinion is he will be bettere than nuge and nuge is gonna want a lot of money soon but Jack is still on his rookie contract and i assume he will eventually need a big contract. I still do strongley think this would benefit edmonton more

I couldn’t begin to describe the level of importance nuge is to the team and fans there. He’s right on level with Leon and Conner.

If it was 1-for-1 you could make the argument that this would be better for the Oilers in the long run even as it makes the team worse short-term. I get that. But then you added Bouchard, Puljujarvi and FIVE (count 'em) high picks. That's ridiculous.

In any case, while its certainly possible Hughes ends up better than Nuge is right now, it's by no means a given. Do you realize that Draisaitl is the best offensive player in the league right now, and when Nuge plays on his wing it makes Draisaitl even better? They played together from December 31st to March 9th this season. Here was the leaderboard during that time:

1. Draisaitl: 29, 21-28-49 +13 (1.69 P/GP)
2. Kucherov: 31, 20-24-44 +20 (1.42)
3. Panarin: 29, 11-31-42 +16 (1.45)
4. Zibanejad: 30, 24-18-42 +1 (1.40)
5. Nugent-Hopkins: 29, 15-26-41 +12 (1.41)

477. Hughes: 25, 1-4-5 -16 (0.20)

Don't be so quick to trade the 5th highest scorer in the league.

This trend of RNH's at being great next to Draisaitl isn't new, it's been going on for 3 years now just in very small samples. His 5v5 production for the last 3 years when playing with Draisaitl, 3.21 P/60, is simply unmatched in the NHL. Kucherov is the closest at 3.10 P/60, with McDavid (2.95), Marchand (2.83), Stamkos (2.80) and Panarin (2.75) rounding out the top 5.

It's interesting that Nugent-Hopkins has made Draisaitl better too, which is incredible when you consider most of the rest of the time Draisaitl played with McDavid.

Draisaitl's 5v5 P/60 with McDavid: 3.07 (1857:31 TOI in 3 seasons: 2017-20)
Draisaitl's 5v5 P/60 with Nugent-Hopkins: 3.68 (635:07 in 3 seasons: 2017-20)

See my post above.

I can’t wait to see that line together for an entire season. If JP comes back he actually did very well with mcdavid just rarely got used together.

Yikes that's really bad for Edmonton in both the short and long term.
