Did Nuge play? Time to put him with Leon so Leon can get him to score again. Just not happening for him. I guess the nice thing is his price point should be dropping like a rock.
|
His price point dropping could mean we get substantially less in a trade than we would have if he was having a decent stretch right now. Pragmatically, he's a UFA and we need to get something for him: either a contract renewal in the next 10 days or players who can fill in holes towards contention. He's been soft and floaty for about 6 weeks now after a great start.
We'll see the asset management side of things quickly. If he stays here without a renewal what are the chances he bails for money elsewhere?

I think trading the third highest scoring forward on a team that lacks scoring depth ahead of the playoffs would be a disaster.
If he doesn't sign an extension, then view him as a rental, but you can't trade him. You're just not likely to get back anything other than picks or prospects, because the only ones taking on UFAs-to-be are teams gearing up for their own playoff runs. They won't give you someone with term who can fill the same role.
It would send a terrible message to the team to trade Nuge at a point where the team should only think about adding. If you look at the North Division, it's a winnable division assuming the goaltending holds up.
We could lose Nuge after the season, and that would be a shame - especially if he leaves for no return. But if we trade him and take a weakened squad in to the playoffs, I think that will just upset all our players (and honestly, it should).
