Nugent-Hopkins closed out the 2017-18 season by tallying 10 points in the final 10 games.

EDGE Analysis

The top draft pick in 2011's draft finished 2017-18 with 48 points (24 goals, 24 assists) in 62 games -- had he played the full 82 games, Nugent-Hopkins would have easily set a new career high in points (56 in 2014-15). The 25-year-old center missed a month and a half (ribs) and upon returning, was converted to left wing in order to play alongside Connor McDavid. Edmonton has continually been searching for the perfect lineman for McDavid -- they may have found it in Nugent-Hopkins (10 points in the final 10 games). The British Columbia native is set for another fruitful season in Oil Country in 2018-19.
