Nugent-Hopkins with his 5th goal of the season, plus an assist, kid has seven points and leads the team.
I will say again, they will be stupid to send him down. The general thought around the league/media etc is that basically everyone knows edmonton will be lucky to get into the playoffs, or close to it this year. So you might as well have the core young guys grow together and learn to play with each other now, then waste a year. Basically what is being said is there is nothing RNH will learn in juniors compared to what he can learn now in Edmonton with Hall and get them on the same page while they are still both young.
Plus with his 7 points, no chance do they send their leading scorer down. I've watched him a lot this season so far, and he looks good out there. He isn't costing the Oilers anything, and he isn't getting knocked around yet, so might as well let him go.
