Confirmed with Link: Oilers acquire Nick Bjugstad (50% retained) + Cam Dineen for Kesselring + a 3rd

[5 14 6 1]

Fine by me. 4th line C with some size. He has 13 goals and a +7 on AZ right now.

3rd is fine

 

[Bonin21]

Great move for 450K

 

[Soundwave]

Again, the Oilers just gained cap room with this move.

Shore down, Bjugstad in = $450k additional cap space.

It helps.

 

[FlameChampion]

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.

Can he skate? Thought hes a pretty slow skater.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

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

Absolutely, because the full caphit itself is still over the minimum, I'm curious what the league would do if you split it again with a 3rd party lol

 

[CupofOil]

I was perfectly satisfied with just the Ekholm move so anything extra is icing on the cake for me. Not the biggest Bjugstad fan but for a 3rd, why not.

 

[NeverForget06]

Not that plus minus is the be all end all but he's +7 on a horrendous Yotes team, only one better is Chychrun who played 20 less games and is +8

 

[CycloneSweep]

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

So he wont constantly be hurt? Nice

And got better to boot.

I was just thinking about this yesterday and now this trade confirms it

 

[GOilers88]

Good depth move imo. Cheap cost. More production than both Yamo and JP for 450k. Hard to be upset there.

 

[FlameChampion]

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

Think he did it on Brassard too or maybe he was just less than 700k when retained

 

[longtimeoilfan]

Maybe Nuge will inspire him to play more physical.

 

[nally]

Meh deal...3rd rounder in a deep draft could be someone nice. Need some depth. Was hoping for something more, but this is fine.

Keep going Kenny, all in MF

 

[s7ark]

For 450k I have no problem with this.

Still hoping for more, but no idea how that works with Cap space.

 

[Hockeylife2018]

Im surprised were even allowed to have a player at a cap below league min

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

For 450k I have no problem with this.

Welcome back . Yeah it's a very solid depth add, should be more effective than Brassard last year

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

13 goals for 850k lol

Let’s see what he does here. At least he’s cheap. Lol

 

[VainGretzky]

He better put up a great effort or he will have to deal with the Nuge

 

[Ruok]

He has had a nice rebound year. I would love for oilers to use the rest of the cap space on a top 6 rw now. Get em Holland

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

They aren, his full cap hit is still $900K it's just being split

 

[ZJuice]

This guy sucks in the video games and EA is almost never wrong . Other than that I know what I have read on HF.
I don’t mind this deal though. He’s CHEAP at 50% retained (edit: darn apparently he still counts as $900k). We won’t be going 11-6 or anything weird for the rest of the season I hope, more goals than JP+Yams combined

It kind of seems like a grey area thing that the league would probably shut down if it got more popular.

Contenders could ice a $1M 4th line with three guys at like $375k.

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Ugh thought it was just a 3rd. Not happy to include Kesselring.

 

[McDNicks17]

The deal is now officially shit.
