Confirmed Trade: [PIT/CBJ] Emil Bemstrom for Alex Nylander and 2026 conditional 6th (or 3rd) round pick

[majormajor]

No I'm not I believe that, I believe given the age of the roster, where they are instandings and how thin the prospect pool is that they should be collecting draft picks

They acquired a 24 year old.

The worst part of the Pens hiring Dubas is having whinging Leafs fans in EVERY thread Pens-related now.

Wasn't there a WJC where some were saying Alex was the more talented Nylander? Willy got concussed in that one iirc. Maybe it was just cope from Tre Kronor fans.

Here we are 4 NHL stops later. He's not a Norris threat, but it's still somewhat amazing to me that the Sabres got Jokiharju for him.

Who the f*** is still trading for A Nylander in 2024?

I think every team would trade for a Nylander. Just not that one.

 

[Stephen]

Bemstrom's pretty good. Seems like a good project for Pittsburgh.

I'm guessing CBJ/Cleveland is going to be a stop over for Alex Nylander and he ends up on the Marlies in Toronto at some point.

Nice distraction trade.

 

[SteelCityCannon]

I might be crazy but wasn’t Bem on waivers this season? I’m happy to get anything for him…

I'd give you 10 likes if I could! Yep! This is lunacy! lol

I think because we had to shed a contract. We were close to 50.

Nice distraction trade.

The main event(s) are soon to come. Jake, Smith, Eller maybe Jarry? Why... All can be had, if the price is right.

Why do teams keep trading for Alexander Nylander????
i do not get it..

i guess its nice to be swede hockey player, or nice to have rich and famous daddy...

AN is a top 6 AHL:er, europe bound after this season

I might be crazy but wasn’t Bem on waivers this season? I’m happy to get anything for him…

you are not getting anything from him though..

 

[Michoulicious]

Conditional 6th? lol Columbus

Edit: just saw the 6 goals condition

 

[Artorius Horus T]

They might think Nylander can play, sure, in the AHL
but very strange trade

I thought weird trade conditions like this weren't allowed anymore. I don't like it, it introduces the possibility of shenanigans.

What are you implying, that penguins might bench EB to avoid the benchmark over the difference between a 6th and 3rd round pick 2+ years away?

When you spell it out like that it doesn't seem very realistic at all.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Hes gunna get healthy scratched if he reaches 5.

I dont mind this trade. Pens needs to try new things and see if anything sticks.

Unsure, benching a 4th liner for a couple games when the team is out of the playoff hunt doesn't seem too unrealistic. Either way, it's the possibility I don't like, just make the pick a 4th or 5th and be done with it.

I'm okay with it as a Jackets fan. Bemstrom will be one of their best options to fill in in the top six and we've seen him score in bunches. He might hit 6 goals quickly. If he doesn't and it comes down to the final games of the season then the Pens can scratch him if they want, that's their call.

 

[Albatros]

A rather strange Hail Mary attempt by the BJs.

There's no deep field shot. Neither a 3rd or 6th are worth much, and Nylander is not an NHLer. The Jackets (or CBJ, not BJs) are just nabbing a pick for a player who deserves a bigger role than they can give him.

I liked when we benched our goaltender that was playing well. Next year we drafted Mario. Sweet, sweet shenanigans.

Who the f*** is still trading for A Nylander in 2024?

He is just a throw-in AHL contract who happens to have a well-known name so people react to it. He is no different than Joe Shmoe who is usually added to open up some contract slots, add AHL depth, etc.

The season could end and then the NHL will just rip your pick from you and give it to them

 

[ItWasJustified]

Why do teams keep trading for Alexander Nylander????

Because he was drafted in the first round. Many NHL moves are done on reputation and politics.

 

[Conbon]

Dubas is desperately bargain bin shopping hoping to hit a home run

 

[Seiza]

Wasn't Pittsburgh's power play awful? Bemström's shot is high caliber on the PP. Other than that, he's an okay bottom six player. Nothing fancy about him except for his shot.
