My Take
As a hockey fan, I have a soft spot for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Drafted first overall by the Edmonton Oilers in 2011, the Burnaby native carried the weight of that pick and grew into an alternate captain his teammates and fans simply call Nuge. What impresses me is loyalty: staying and building trust with one franchise across so many seasons says a lot about character. At 184 cm he is no bruiser, but his vision and playmaking are genuinely artful. I will always prefer the smart, team-first forward to the pure goal-scorer, and Nugent-Hopkins is exactly that kind of player.
