I completely agree that they could use an upgrade on Chiasson but you don't think Neal is a second line winger? As I said, he's got 10 - 20+ goal seasons. Nuge's boy Eberle doesn't have that. Even when he had Hall AND Eberle on his wing, the best he could muster was 56 pts. Who is this mythical winger for Nuge?

Neal was traded for Milan Lucic. I don't care how many 10+ goals he has had in the past, Neal is a straight up has-been. His good start was fun, but let's not hang our judgement on Nuge based off a guy that Calgary is still happy to be rid of despite having Lucic in return.
Playing second line to a team that has McDavid and Drai on the top line is a lot different than playing second line on most other teams given how our top line is going to be given more opportunities (such as playing 26 minutes a night!). Between mediocre linemates and the primo chances going to the top line, I'm not ready to stick it to Nuge yet. I'd reevaluate at Xmas.

As I said. For a good chunk of his career, Nuge had Eberle AND Hall on his wing and all he could muster was 56 pts. Hall was an all star and won an MVP. Those were 2 pretty damn good wingers and all he could put up was second line center numbers. Who are the Oilers supposed to get, Kucherov before Nuge can score at a decent rate?
I know this is me basically swearing but has it crossed anyone's mind that Nuge just isn't that good? I watched him in junior, I am a fan of his but at some point in my opinion, people need to realize that Nuge is nothing more than an OK 2nd line center who is a bit of a complimentary player.
