The Edmonton Oilers have Ryan Nugent-Hopkins signed for a long time now. He took a team-friendly deal this offseason to keep him in Edmonton for the duration of his career. So now all he has to do is play.
The Edmonton Oilers need Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to be the former first overall pick they drafted in 2011.
This team needs Nugent-Hopkins to be a star player. Not just someone that is good alongside guys like Draisaitl and McDavid, but someone that can lead the offense on his own as well. Nugent-Hopkins signed a massive eight-year 41 million dollar extension, and now it is the time for him to show he is worth that much.
