Edmonton Oilers fans all love Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, the baby-faced star center. However, although he possesses great scoring ability, playmaking and overall talent, his smallness can conflict with that, leading to injuries that weaken him and stop his development from going forward.
However, things are changing for the Oilers first line center. Today, it was discovered in an interview that Nugent-Hopkins has gained five pounds and is putting on weight for the upcoming season. This is surely different, and even though five pounds doesn’t seem like too much, this is a big push forward not only for Nugent-Hopkins, but for the entire Oilers team.
