Pearson Bjugstad Podkolzin Motte Beagle Dickinson Bjugstad is 6 foot 6 but only 210 pounds. His body type has partly led him to struggle with injuries over the last 3 years. He has a had a back injury and spine issues which is scary as a veteran player who is almost 30 with such a highcut frame. Depending on price he maybe a good middle six option with C/RW versatility as he can handle himself reasonably in the faceoff dot. Don't think he really plays a heavy game or up to that size though. More of offensive depth piece than a top six piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of offensive depth piece than a top six piece. He’s a cheap third line option with size. Pretty much all we can afford for the third line. He can bring more offense to that role which is what we’re looking for. I’m guessing that with better wingers they’re hoping he can get back to the 40 point player he was.

He seems like a much more realistic target than the Garland types unless there is Schmidt moved out as part of a bigger deal for a true difference making offensive top 6 winger. Not the most exciting option but unfortunately the Canucks and their tight cap situation means they have to look for value and are priced out from the bigger more well known names....

Well acquiring Bjugstad wouldn’t stop us from getting another top 6 forward. Hes only making 900k so he’s as cheap as any option we’d have there. To upgrade the top 6 and D we’re gonna have to trade Holtby, buyout Virtanen, and find a way to trade one of Roussel or Beagle. We may see a Schmidt trade but I don’t know if that really saves us that much cap space because we’d need to replace him with a 5 million dollar d man.

Nave Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Bjugstad has had serious problems with injuries the past few seasons. I would rather put Dickinson at 3C, and not getting Bjugstad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't which is maddeningly frustrating because he has the physical tools to be a dominant presence down the center of the ice. When JB said he needed 'heft Bjugstad was not the type of player that first came to my mind. Yeah he's big, but invisible far too often imo. I hope he isn't JB's target or if he is I certainly hope the price is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would give us a lot of flexibility since I remember JB saying that they plan to give Dickie a shot there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay that last bit was a joke, it'd be a 7th Edited July 21, 2021 by lmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we? Especially if we did manage Larsson to play with Hughes, we could probably move Schmidt and replace him with Hakanpaa or Hamonic at around $2.5-$3m. I suppose you could view Larsson as Schmidt's 'replacement' there... Still, saves $1m anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh huh JB pulled another one out of a hat, I can bet the haters aren't going to be happy with this move that makes JB look a lot better and them a lot worse, well their idiots so hard to make them look that much worse but whatever .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every hockey media hack, who never gets anything right, at one time or another has said ,"coach X is a good coach" I think saying , "Coach x is a good coach" is about as relavant as saying, "I give 110%" or "our team is hard to play against" Seething, ha, theys probably rolling theys eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that it's a cost effective move. Just can't help but remember when there were rumours around us getting him when he was still with Flordia.

He should be somewhere between his current $1.5 million and $2.0 million. Edited July 21, 2021 by Provost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
