I don't hate Nuge what so ever. That's a completely made up lie on your part. I just don't give the guy a free pass like many Oilers fans do.
He's an 11 yr Oiler, the longest serving Oiler, he is one of the main guys that set the standard as to how the team plays and what is acceptable. The play on that goal is not acceptable if you want to be a winning team. If this was his first year and first playoff game, then I could let it slip. It's not. He's been in the league for 11 yrs, he's supposed to know better. The Oilers have decided that he is one of the guys they want around showing the way for anyone who becomes an Oiler for the next 7 more years. That's not acceptable. If it was a bad read or you didn't see/expect a defender and you made a bad pass for a goal against, I can accept that. Mistakes happen.
He made a choice not to engage. He made a choice to try and make the easy way work when the harder way is the only way that works. That isn't me "hating" on poor untouchable Nuge, that's voicing frustration at a player who should know better and who is a guy that young players like a McLeod will look too for guidance. McLeod isn't blessed with McD abilities, a more realistic goal for McLeod is a Nuge type player who can be decent at both ends of the ice. I expect better from an 11 yr player.

Again, you're cherry picking a single bad play and using that to evaluate the player. I notice that you aren't in here talking about Kane making a really bad read and getting his pocket picked by a fourth liner for the third goal, or Draisaitl making a bad giveaway to spring loose Tkachuk for the 8-6 goal. We could do this on an awful lot of goals - look at the player who jumped early, who didn't see the danger, who got walked by a dangle...it is a single play in the game and if you're evaluating players based on a single play, you're going to be wrong a lot more than you're right.
It doesn't matter how long someone has been here. Kulak's been here a very short time, Holloway could make his Oilers debut this week. That doesn't actually impact any thing about what they are supposed to do or not.
I honestly hate analysis about "soft play" because more often than not it's people who think that a mistake was because of lack of effort and usually that's just not the case. I don't believe that anyone on the Oilers didn't care about the game last night and came to work thinking they should just mail it in. I don't think they were trying to cut corners. That's a lazy narrative, and it's again, usually wrong. Nuge made an error. That's it.
