To CBJ: Nuge
To EDM: Bjorkstrand
Both have one year under contract after this, with Nuge being UFA and Bjorkstrand still being RFA. Columbus gets a 2C to help Dubois with matchups, Oil get a high volume shooter who could click with Connor or Drai. Forces the Oil to split the big guns up permanently and try to build 2 good lines. Also frees up 3.5 mil in cap space.
Nuge is having a down year, but I’d hope he’s still recognized as an above average 2C in his prime. He takes all the tough defensive matchups and carries James Neal and whoever falls in to the 2LW spot on that given day (Nygaard/Khaira/Gagner). In a better situation (linemates), he’s a 55+ pt 2 way C.
Thoughts?
