I would rather sign Tanev than demelo cause Ik he's good while demelo stats and advanced stats are all not that great but other than that it's good

Gonna need more than a fifth to take a bjugstad. 4.1 million in cap is worth more considering we don’t need him and he takes a roster spot of a young player like Joey Anderson who deserves it. It’s gotta be a second. You might get it elsewhere but not Nj

Tanev isn't that great so signing him is far riskier.

Bjugstad still has value. He's still a serviceable 3C and is also effective on the wing.

He's their top pairing guy you're so wrong

That doesn't mean anything. Where a player is deployed in a lineup has nothing to do with how good they are.

He's their shut down defenseman who's responsible with the puck and is a league leader in blocked shots and in the past when their defense use to be bad they would pair him with any struggling defender cause he is just that good and responsible.

Once again, not only do blocked shots provide no indication of how good a player is, they also mean that the more blocks a player has, the more time they spend stuck in their own end.

Sometimes. Sometimes they just go out in front of shots every time and its blocked if they can get in front of it. He's not jack johnson lol dont worry.

I'm not saying he's Jack Johnson. I'm saying he's not a player you want on your top pair.

Not denying that. I just don’t want to take a spot of a deserving prospect.
