Edmonton Oilers could make franchise-altering trade

The Edmonton Oilers are left picking up the pieces after their Round 2 Stanley Cup Playoffs loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, bringing an end to a historically potent offensive season that saw not only Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl easily eclipse the 100 point mark, but also becoming the first NHL team since the mid 1990's to feature three 100 point scorers thanks to a career year from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

And speaking of Nugent-Hopkins, what are the chances that he could soon be on the move? According to Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now, the Bruins are reportedly interested in bringing aboard the longest tenured member of the Oilers; the former 1st overall pick was taken by Edmonton in Round 1 of the 2011 NHL Draft. 

From the original article: 

"Could there be a fit between the Boston Bruins and Edmonton Oilers?

When asked Monday, about potential external replacements at center the Boston Bruins could target if Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci retire, an NHL source told Boston Hockey Now that the Oilers ‘might move’ 30-year-old center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and that they’re looking for a defenseman in the return." 

In 801 career NHL games, all with Edmonton, Nugent-Hopkins has tallied 233 goals and 399 assists for 632 career points. His 37 goals and 67 assists this most recent season were both career highs. Additionally, he's appeared in 49 playoff games, scoring 10 goals and 29 assists. 

If the scenario suggested of veterans Krejci and Bergeron ultimately hanging up the skates plays out, how much sense would it make for the Bruins to make a run at Nugent-Hopkins?
