At number 7 I had a 2006 hero, goaltender Dwayne Roloson. Today on my list of Favorite Edmonton Oilers of All Time, I actually have a current Oiler: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins!
Nugent-Hopkins Recap
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was the first overall draft pick in the 2011 NHL Entry draft. Nugent-Hopkins ended up playing in the WHL with the Red Deer Rebels. Unlike previous Oilers on this list, it is difficult to write a recap of Nugent-Hopkins’ career due to the fact that he’s only entering his fifth season. There is a lot of hockey left in this young man’s life to be played!
