[Bring Back Bucky]

4th rounder.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Panthers would give a 2024 3rd + 2025 4th + B level prospect.

 

[SnS]

Doubt they trade him.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Probably 3rd.

Isn't Arizona trying to be competitive?,

[La Bamba]

Dineen and a 3rd for Bjugstad and Kesselring

 

[finkelsteinberg]

Probably 3rd.

I think it's likely that they are trying to be more competitive and still make this trade (starting to think a 3rd might be too low given the current market). They have been improving every year for the last 2 and this year is going to be a 3rd. This is good asset management. Rinse and repeat it again next year too. Bugs likes AZ and the situation he is in.

He's got another year left, so I think that's why the market might be lower for him.

Could be wrong, but teams tend to stay away unless they get a good day on the contract.

If the Coyotes retained some, could get definitely get more.

 

[Schemp]

Like the Coyotes need more draft picks...

 

[PavelBure10]

Would look great as the Canucks 4th line centerman going into the playoffs

 

[DingDongCharlie]

2nd + B prospect for Bjugstad 50% retained.

Worth it for him having that extra year with the retention. Move addresses the bottom 6, center depth and doesn't risk disrupting the team chemistry.

The question for me would be why would he be available. Isn't Arizona actively trying to win games now?

We’re trying to win games but depending where we are at the deadline we could be sellers.

I believe that’s fair value but I don’t think we trade Bjudstad unless we get an offer we can’t refuse.

This.
Bjugstad is part of the planned roster for next season.
TDL buyers are better off looking elsewhere.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Rangers will probably reach out to Arizona about Bjugstad.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Rangers will probably reach out to Arizona about Bjugstad.

I wont mind this. He is one of the guys I want. But does he play 4th line? Rangers issues are 3rd line center. I’d offer someone like Karl Henriksson depth prospect, 4th in 24 for him.

 

[Evilo]

No serious injury history.

Bjugstad has played 599 games out of 11 seasons, averaging 54 games per season.

 

[5 14 6 1]

He's welcome back to Edmonton for another run lol

 

[RangersFan1994]

He better be on Rangers list of centers. Always been a fan

Good asset management for ARI is to try and be as good as they can be without making a big sacrifice on the future. They need to keep fan level high and create a demand Selling off vets for a 3rd rd pick at this point doesn't help as much as making the playoffs and maybe even winning a round.

They have and have had plenty of picks. Time to take a step forward, not backwark.

 

[Vitto79]

Probably 3rd.

Yea doubt he goes

AZ has 3/4/3 2nd rounders the next 3 drafts. I think they would be asking a 1st and send back a 2nd.

 

[Kaibur]

Zucker (50%), Dumba (50%) and Stecher are the guys that the Coyotes will trade, if they want to be traded at the deadline. If they want to stick around and roll the dice, I think BA is fine with that too. It's not like the Coyotes really need more middling draft picks.

Bjugstad is staying. He's the only center they have that can consistently win a faceoff. They want him for next year for center depth and to insulate Geekie who hopefully starts out on the top line in Tucson.
