Edmonton Oilers Select Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

Photo by:  Lisa McRitchie, all rights reserved.

With the #1 pick in the 2011 draft, Steve Tambellini stepped to the podium and selected Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, the elusive and offensive centre from the Red Deer Rebels.  Nugent-Hopkins is the best set-up man to come along in a long awhile and while Taylor Hall was first to greet him on stage, it's not a stretch to think that Nugent-Hopkins will set up Magnus Paajarvi and Linus Omark in Edmonton next year.

Me too…
would have been happier with Larsson
But so far hapy with RNH and hoping that he pulls a Tayloe Hall and proved me wrong

Success is not a goal..its a byproduct

Photoshop RNH and Ga Ga ………

Too early.

Nice to see those jerseys make a comeback. If Tambo doesn’t fuck up the Smytty trade, I might have to make a contribution to Katz’s share of the arena fund.
