Congrats on converting your Kravtsov into a Bjugstad

Nah, ARZ says no. But if it were to happen it would be a steal for NYR

I want whatever you're smoking.

I think AZ can flip Bjugstad for a third-plus. He's finally healthy, putting up points showing he can play in the top six if necessary, and every team in the hunt would love to add a huge center for the playoffs under a million dollars.

I think Kratsov can still turn things around, but there are plenty of guys on their depth chart at forward already to fill roster spots next season. Not sure it makes sense for AZ with all the question marks surrounding him. I'd personally rather have a third to add to the pool.

I don’t care, I just wanted to make the comment

Well in the deal NYR is receiving a 3rd and bjug is worth a 3rd. While giving up a 6th and a 25 year old bust who was drafted 2-3 rounds too high.

Your takes are impressively bad.

Sure 😂 you need to let go of him. He’s a great hockey player compared to you or I. He’s not good enough to play in North America. Maybe when he’s 30 he can cut it as a 3rd liner. Not today, not in the 6 years since he was drafted, not in the near future.

Next year he'll scored 20 goals somewhere else.

I hope he does… I wish I were wrong. I think it will be in the KHL which doesn’t translate to NA unless you’re an elite player over there. (Which he isn’t)

Certainly. Teams needing cheap depth (Edmonton for example) would have much better bids than this one.
