## Resource

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins hit his 1,000th game milestone with the Oilers, sparking celebration—but his elite days may be fading. Production at even strength has dipped, and he’s increasingly playing bottom-six minutes, with younger players like Matt Savoie outperforming him. His penalty kill time has also declined, and his impact there hasn’t been positive. Age is taking its toll, and while this isn’t ideal timing for championship pushes, the Oilers aren’t falling apart. He still excels on the power play, but with rumors of adding a top-six forward, his future could shift to a third-line center—a cost-effective move that still leverages his experience and value.
