Per Vogl, The Athletic:

Pittsburgh
The perennial Cup contenders are in cap trouble every year, yet they still manage to add players and win. But with eight RFAs – including the goalie tandem of Matt Murray and Tristan Jarry – something has to give.

Realistic target: Nick Bjugstad.

There’s always a concern with the words “spinal surgery,” which Bjugstad underwent in May to repair a herniated disc, but the risk to the Sabres is minimal. The 6-foot-6 center has just one year left on his $4.1 million contract before becoming a UFA. If healthy, Bjugstad is another option who’d allow Cozens and Mittelstadt to ease into the lineup.






CAN I GET A BUEGWATCH 2020

Great.

Can't wait to watch "glass" Nick attempt to center our 2nd line while we wait for Cozens and Mitts. 😂

I'll be pining for a Mojo-centered 2nd line by game 10.

NHL teams?
Those teams who are tested to get into the bubble.
Those teams that are then tested daily/every-other-day while in the bubble.
Those teams that then quarantine players who test positive?
You want players on those teams to wear a mask?
WTF!
That makes very, very little sense

want nothing to do with Bjugstad

I was hoping he would have more of an offensive game and end up being a quality 3C.

He can hardly score at the AHL level so I highly doubt he’ll be anything more then a PK and 4th liner

I think we'd get something in return for that. One of their longer range prospects at the very least.

8, Mitts and either Samuelsson or Johnson for Cirelli and assorted mid rounders

Cirelli is the real deal we have 1 more shot after this year he will be one of the best 2 -way forwards in the nhl with the likes of Bergeron

8, Mitts and either Samuelsson or Johnson
- jcragcrumple

I'd look hard at that. Team with Eichel Cirelli and Cozens? Christ.
