This Wednesday, on “Oilers Now,” head coach Todd McLellan told Bob Stauffer that he believes there is more potential in Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ game. Here’s what he had to say:
“I think that, and I told Nuge this at the end of the year, there’s more to his game, especially offensively. He’s become such a responsible player, that at times he doesn’t take the risk necessary to score. It’s OK to be a risky player sometimes. You have teammates that have to cover for you. You can’t always be the safe guy, but he’s convinced he’s going to be a well-rounded player.
