RNH has a pts / game rate at 0.66 right now

Despite playing mostly beside a player putting up similar numbers to Gretzy & Mario in their late 20s and an elite scorer in Draisaitl on the PP

Despite also getting 21 minutes a game of TOI

His season pts/60 is under 2 given all that (!)

He's 165th in the entire league right now by pts/60 under the likes of Lars Eller, Brandon Tanev, Sammy Blais, Tomas Nosek, etc. Brutal. And now 28 yo 😐

What a preposterous contract proposal

Hes been a consistent 50ish pt center and its a petty weak ufa class. Someone probably overpays him but he could be a really good add for some teams. Id take him in Detroit but he'd be a good add for Florida or maybe Minny.

I hope MN doesn't sign RNH. He's a low 2C but expectations will be that he'll be a 1C there. It'll just lead to disappointment for MN.

Well ek is having a nice season but its too bad you didnt get to see rossi. Maybe a guy like wennberg on a short deal would be a better fit.

So you offer RNH that, then you offer Yamamoto more? Where's the logic in that.

Nuge has disappointing from a 5-5 production standpoint which is magnified to me when he’s mainly played with a guy that pulled off 100 points in only 53 games I’m honestly not sure he’s registered a single asset 5-5 with mcdavid every 5-5 point I can remember has been paired with Leon. Contract wise can’t look past that but also can’t ignore the good he does still do he’s a terrific two way left winger do not view him as a centre I think most can offer him is extending current deal

Actually really like that Islanders trade. Seems little risky for Edmonton, considering Aho and Bellows haven’t had much NHL experience and are getting old to be “prospects” I think with consistent playing time and more freedom to develop their games, they could be solid pieces for a team

EDIT: Okay, “really” like might be an overstatement, since we are taking Kassian, but if he sucks, the buyout isn’t so bad and maybe Trotz can get more out of him that EDM could idk

Idk. RNH has some good, isolated, ice-tilting metrics in his favor this year. I could see another team getting value from a 7m x 6yrs contract or so if he somewhat keeps this form. His issue seems to be consistency, rather than anything else. He was decent last year, bad before that, and pretty damn great this year in terms of relatively outshooting his opponents. He's also a good power-play contributor.

His offence has taken a hit this season, but he's one of our only top 6 forwards that actually plays defence so I'm not ready to lose him to UFA.

He will get 6 million ish

But I agree he’s overhyped

Someone will offer RNH way too much if he hits UFA and it shouldn't be EDM

are you kidding me lmfao. just because he isn't scoring doesn't mean he's not having a good season.
