Good analysis, I'd be interested to know where there's a better 2nd line center to plug in there at that price point, that's not on an ELC.

Nuge is what he is. A good but not great, two way center. As usual, there are some Oiler fans who will defend low skilled players because of intangibles, gritentisy and truculence. In the next sentance they will lay blame at the feet of higher skilled players if they arent superstars.
At this point RNH going 1st overall is irrelevant. It only means he was the highest rated 18 year old that year. He has turned into a pretty good player overall. His game has become pretty rounded and he is a fine complementary player.
Cherry picking stats to prove or disprove something about him is pretty easy. We could all find some to say he is great/terrible but for the money he is filling his assigned role just fine.
As is usually the case, some low hockey IQ fans will look to assign blame in odd ways while ignoring massive other problems on the team. It is a cop out though. Cant put too much blame on McDavid (and you shouldnt). Cant blame the players management brought in because they dont criticize GM's until they get fired. Cant blame the heart and soul guys, they try REAL hard!
Who's left? RNH, of course!
There are about a dozen flaws on this team right now before I even start to look at 2C.

Yup, agree. There will be plenty of debate over Nuge next season when his contract is expiring. I hope they can sign him for a smallish increase, because they don't have anyone in the system on a cheaper deal who is going to step in and do what he does, and I just don't know who else is out there and available that's better.
