Trade: Brassard to Florida for Bjugstad

[davemoosehead]

This trade should help Hoffman. Not only does a top 6 spot open up, but Florida upgrades their 3C. So wherever Hoffman ends up, he should get a bump. At least that's what I'm telling myself as a Hoffman owner!

Bjugstad had a pretty good showing last season on the wing with Barkov and Dadonov, I dont think it's out of the question that he gets a decent look at top 6 deployment.

I hope so. Always loved his game.

not sure it does... already reports they're going to flip Brassard

Does this help Borgstrom's outlook at all for this season and beyond?

It should. Especially if Brassard is flipped.

nice deal for Pens and as usual , rutherford strikes early

His father is Russian, not sure about his mother, and he has dual Russian/Finnish citizenship. It’s quite common for the children of expatriates or immigrants to identify with the nationality of their parents even when they grow up elsewhere.

Soooo, is he Finnish? Yes, born and raised there. Is he also Russian? Heck yes.

Pens theory isn’t squashed yet lol

Honestly the Penguin fail videos are so good, it's better that he posted the first one.

Thanks for this info. Barkov is just such a Russian sounding name that I've made the mistake (not really a mistake I guess?) of assuming in the past.

As someone who owns Bjugstad in a couple keeper leagues, I like this trade. Hopefully it kicks him in the arse and gets him going.
