While the Edmonton Oilers forward group continue to do their job well, they have struggled in net, and now, a proposed trade could help them out in a massive way.
This is a proposal that has been seen all over social media, and while on the surface it may be a steal for Edmonton, it would help both teams improve in key areas of weakness.
While Nugent-Hopkins isn't on the level of a Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl, he's been fantastic over the past few years, following up 104 points a season ago with 36 in 35 games thus far in 2023-24.
Beyond that, the Bruins also have great depth with Jeremy Swayman in net, and if they are inclined to move one of their top goaltenders, getting back a talented forward like RNH and a potential asset to improve even further, it's a deal that would benefit both parties.
