The name doesn't roll off the tongue as smoothly, but it won't matter if Ryan Nugent-Hopkins can form a 1-2 punch with fellow first-round pick Taylor Hall and down the road conjure memories of another dynamic Oilers duo from the 1980s dynasty years.
For the second year in a row, Edmonton general manager Steve Tambellini kept the first overall selection in Friday's National Hockey League entry draft and chose Nugent-Hopkins, a centre from the Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League.
"It's going to be great," said the six-foot Nugent-Hopkins, who has his thin frame up to 174 pounds and hopes to put on more weight before making the jump to the NHL. "I'm going to be able to relate to all the young guys in the system already.
"So just joining a group like that is very exciting for me. I just can't wait to get started."
Tambellini chose left-winger Hall
