Nice depth.

Under a mil 13 goals, tall, physical, for a third round pick. Not bad. Only wish he was better at faceoffs.

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Not the player he used to be and is infamous for not making full use of that massive size but is playing above his 800k salary this season. Should be decent depth and an upgrade on the likes of Shore at least.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Yech. Doesn’t hit. Plays a small man’s game. Healthy scratch for the playoffs last year.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Guud trayed

Bjugstad - 13 goals
Puljujarvi + Yamamoto - 11 goals combined

Sounds good to me.

Physical? Not Bjugstsd.

50% retained according to Rishaug as well.

Just looking at his stats I think this will be the best team he's ever played on the and the best shot he will probably ever have at a deep run in the playoffs. Hopefully that spurs him into being as effective as possible. If not, not the end of the world

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I may be in the minority but I don't mind this deal...he's a big center, can score a bit and doesn't cost much

 

[Cloned]

50% retained according to Rishaug as well.

lol. Holland finally got retention.

 

[FlameChampion]

I think I would prefer a more defensive minded 4C but its not a big deal either way.

 

[Soundwave]

Whoa Arizona retained?

 

[Navx94]

450k 4th liner? I’ll take it

 

[McDNicks17]

I'm not a huge fan, but I wonder if him being able to play some RW sold them on him.

The RW market is basically nonexistent and they definitely need help there.

 

[Joey Moss]

Hope that’s not the last move

 

[Soundwave]

For 450k you take this and run.

This actually opens up cap room for the Oilers as he's cheaper than Shore.

 

[oXo Cube]

Puljujarvi replacement that makes 2.5M less.

Not an exciting move but no complaints.

 

[RipsADrive]

Fine player. Not that high of an acquisition cost or cap hit.

Still hoping there's one more move out there for a middle 6 type winger.

13 goals for 850k lol

 

[McDNicks17]

I didn't even know you could retain a contract to below league minimum.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Happy they brought him in, cheap forward, RHC with size and can skate. He's cheap too. Welcome Nick, I hope you find some that magic that made you the most untouchable prospect in Panther's history.

 

[Kolja]

Good depth and with 50% retained there is stil room for more.

450k for Bjugstad.

Its a good point

 

[PBandJ]

He's 6'6 and plays less physically than Yamamoto.
