Confirmed Trade: [PIT/CBJ] Emil Bemstrom for Alex Nylander and 2026 conditional 6th (or 3rd) round pick

3 pts in 4 games.

Lead the CBJ in 5v5 ice time too

He’s a one dimensional albatross. You’ll see.

Sullivan doesn't know how to work with young players, especially young forwards. He gives them absolutely no room to make errors and the second a young guy makes a mistake Sullivan benches them and then scratches them while he lets his no talent vets continue to pile up poor play.

Watching Nylander play the few games he got it, it looked like he was playing to not screw up which pretty much negated any offensive ability he has.

I still think if he got in a spot where was given a little more room to play his game it could carve out a spot on a offensively oriented third line somewhere.

Good for him! I was always rooting for him to carve out a decent NHL career after the bust label.
I think this was a good trade for both sides.

 

[CBJx614]

Nylander with 2 more goals...

5 points in 5 games...

Hat trick tonight with the EN goal. He's played well too. Short sample size but he's doing what he needs to to get qualified

 

[Viqsi]

Correction. Three more goals. Yes, he pulled off the hat trick.

As a Penguins fan, I feel like I should know but, was he not allowed to wear 92 in Pittsburgh? Is that unofficially retired for Tocchet?

Definitely the best of the three on the night.

no, Vokoun was the last to wear in his time here, just for some reason they never really used it or have anyone ask for it, just like nobody was issued or asked to have 35 post Barrasso until Jarry got it.

Kid must be happy to be out from under Sullivan's "everyone under 29 will be a grinder" style.

 

[Flying Dego]

You guys should trade him while the irons

Maybe a team that misses out on Guentzel would sell a 1st for the leagues hottest goal scorer? Worth a shot

What a steal by jackets.

I think Vincent is just really trying to instill a "play smart hockey" kinda mentality in Columbus and as long as someone is doing all the little things right, they will get playing time. And so far at least, Nylander has been doing all the little things right.

He's not perfect of course, but he's looked more useful than Bemstrom was in the lineup.

Wouldn't it be great if Kyle Dubas got fleeced in a trade by a team without a GM?

 

[Flying Dego]

Wheel and deal this time of year. Don't think just sling it!

 

[McClelland]

Wonder if the Columbus fans hesitated to throw their caps after Alex hatty, they must be worth a bus load of bucks on
the ancient market för collectors.

 

[WarriorofTime]

A. Nylander is a man on a mission.

I think there is an unwritten rule that players dont take a number higher than Crosby's. Its never been confirmed but not many have done it.

Not a bad effort.. might need to wordsmith it a bit.

Also, Sillinger had a hattrick in January.

 

[KOPITARRULEZ11]

Nylander's last goal in the NHL was in 22-23 season
and before that.. 19-20 season.
- 3 goals in the NHL, in the last 4 years

And had 3 tonight in one game lol
