Good luck Bemstrom. He needs confidence, but he isn’t a bad player. Great shot and has gotten a lot better away from the puck. Hoping he gets ice time.

 

[Viqsi]

Yep, I can see us regretting this one eventually.

Good gamble by Pittsburgh, Bemström could flourish on a different team. Was just never going to be the CBJ imho. I guess an AHL body and a 6th is... something.

 

[Ezpz]

Send him to the pit! It sounds threatening.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Great buy low move for the Penguins in my opinion.

 

[SEALBound]

Odd trade that seems to be in the Penguins favor?

Nylander is AHL only material at this point and 6th round picks are scratchers.

What's up with Bemstrom? 11pts in 32gp doesn't seem bad.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Is he going to enter this game WWF style ??


I know he can't but that would be kinda cool

 

[CBJ goalie]

Yep, I can see us regretting this one eventually.

Nah, he was given every opportunity to succeed with the CBJ. I wish him well, but he's gonna be the same with odd flashes of good hockey mixed with invisibility for several games.

Odd flashes of good hockey would be more than what we have gotten from most of our roster this year lol

John Davidson getting to work right away.

Makes sense for Pittsburgh though they now have Puljujaarvi to replace Nylander for the busting Top 10 draft pick spot.

So the usual Dubas acquisition.

Numbers game. He was going to have to be waived at some point given the Jackets plethora of young guys and bottom-6 guys.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Getting anything for Nylander is a net positive in my book.

 

[Cogburn]

Good luck to Bemstrom and The Pittsburgh.

Make sense.

My hope is that this allows us to waive Harkins willfully.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Nylander isnt altogether useless, he just thinks, reacts and processes the game a step or two too slow at the NHL level, keep him in Cleveland and he's fine, he's a great AHL scoring winger but that's about his ceiling at this point.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Wait isn't Bemstrom a decent young player? Surprised the Jackets couldn't have gotten something better than a good AHLer and a 6th for him.

69 points in 204 games is about a pace of 30 points per 82 games, which isn't anything special but seems serviceable for the ice time he has received.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Thought he more value than that

 

[McDoused]

Woah save some deals for the deadline.

 

[Snuggs]

Nice low cost move for the Penguins.

 

[Petes2424]

We’ll probably see 2-3 moves like this from Dubas, looking towards the future a little bit. Taking chances on players who some believed would be much better NHL players than they’ve become. Bemstrom fits that category.

There are some Chandler Stephenson’s and McCann’s still out there. Who just need the right opportunity.

 

[TLEH]

I mean Alex Nylander is not an NHL talent so seems like an odd trade.

 

[PensandCaps]

I've liked Bemstrom. Has some relatively decent productive seasons for a bottom 6 guy.
