That is the final piece but I doubt we get him that cheap. But the way Drury has been going, maybe he can?

Why not just do Kravtsov for Bjugstad?

Bju should be your 3C or 3RW, he plays infinitely better when played more mins

how happy are you with Mikkola?

because Vali + Bju for a 2nd and Korczak [dump Mikkola wherever] would be same cap w 2 players and Vali is 1M next year

Well, the price for Lafferty is set for a 2nd round pick. So anything more for Bjugstad and Lafferty becomes a no brainer because of the additional year on his contract at a very nice price.

Drury is probably looking for a 2nd for Kravtsov

He may be looking for it, but Im not sure we get lucky again like we did with Lias Anderson.

Why would Lafferty be a no brainer? He's produced less on average and scored less this year, he's smaller and a bit less physical, and takes half as many FO's at 250k more cap

Mikkola has been a Ranger for 3 games so no way Drury dumps him. The Ranger management and coaching staff wanted to get him and probably why the went after Tarasenko as well, kill 2 birds in one trade. The Rangers also need a better 4C, so that is where Bjugstad would slot in.

Look at Bjugstad stats/60 when he plays 15+ mins vs less

If you don't use him properly, you shouldn't trade a 2nd for him



Vali moves the puck, Mikkola is an offensive void and turns the puck over at more cost

What about the fact that Drury just traded for Mikkola don't you get? You think he is going to trade for him only to dump him a week later? That's just silliness. And the Rangers NEED a better 4C, and Bjugsted would be an upgrade at 4C for the playoffs and that's where he fits the Rangers best.
