Nuge is in line for his big pay day this offseason, he's not taking a 3 year deal.

If that’s all it costs to resign RNH then the oilers will jump all over it. That and Puljujärvi isn’t getting traded anytime soon.

EDM shouldn't trade RNH, it's a 3 team race for 2 Playoff spots in the North. MN shouldn't be going after high priced rentals this year.

What's a more realistic number for RNH? 8Mx5?

I think the RNH train has passed for MN. I don't see the incentive for him to sign there unless it's for a lot more money than EDM would give him. If he wants to be a center it would limit his teams more than him as a wing would. MN would want him as a center but not as a wing; most other teams are the opposite.

$7-$8m range might be right for him, the flat cap has really turned UFA contracts into a mess. The last 2 seasons he's been on a .9ppg pace in EDM as mostly a winger. I see him as a quality 2C not a 1C, so if the money starts to get get expensive I'd tap out on trying to sign him.

Just like Wabit said, he is looking for 7-8M per on a long term deal.
