Guerin makes another move with his former team acquiring Nick Bjugstad for a conditional 2020-21 draft pick.
Pittsburgh will retain half of Bjugstad's $4 1 million cap hit on a contract that expires at the end of the 20-21 season.
A low risk potentially high reward move to get the Minnesota native who can play both center or wing. The 6'6" Bjugstad gives the Wild a solid right hand shot who one would think will slot into the center position for his hometown club.
Health has been an issue with Bjugstad who was limited to just 13 games in 2019-20 but should be ready when the NHL 2020-21 season begins.
