Two big names are going to start climbing the NHL Trade Bait Board here at The Daily Goal Horn soon. Both Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall will become unrestricted free agents at season’s end. That will likely make them hot commodities at the trade deadline.
NHL Rumors: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins extension becoming more complicated
The Edmonton Oilers like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and in turn he loves playing there. If things were only so simple.
TSN’s Ryan Rishaug broke down the latest surrounding RNH:
- No new talks since they broke off before season started
- Flat cap a serious issue
- Oilers won’t let him walk for nothing this summer
As we’ve noted before, the two sides were actively talking until the Oilers made it clear that a penny over $7 million per season was a non starter.
