Try Bjugstad with Sid?
- 668710


I think he would be a good fit on either sid or Genos wing. He shoots and can protect the puck pretty well.

Anyone but simon..but not sure bjug would fit with sid...something tells me no way. Edit....ur trying to sell bjug...as trade bait...if he crashes out with sid he will be worthless.
- taleisyreXIII

Speed-wise, definitely not. But I'd still try it. Has anyone crashed out with Sid? Is Bjug on the PP? I can't remember.

Isles are unreal to come out that hungry to start the 2nd. Props to them. They were just thirsty AF hahaha
- MattStrat


Missed the first. Despite the score the stats show the Isles really controlled play.

Phil looked horrendous with sid initially...didnt mean much but there are many players that cannot jive with crosby. I think speed is number one playing with him.

Yeah without looking I'd definitely give them a slight upper hand overall in the 1st....it was a close period.

That was just a beauty tip on their 2nd..not on Murray

Everybody always says Sid wants to play a speed game, I don't see Bjug working there.

Lots of PPs in the 1st.

Yeah, nice play all-around by the Isles on the 2nd goal.

Galch with Sid and Bjug with Malkin?

If Bjug isn't on the PP, I'd try him there, too.

I'd be fine with Rust-Geno-Bjugstad. I'm very much over Galchenyuk.

Two statements


One. Rikola and Marino are awesome.

Two. If Jack Johnson would just blow someone up every once in a while I think we would all like him better. Like Orpik.

Yeah, Bjug doesn't have the speed and he doesn't use his size advantage well. Dude has a velcro jersey......he has a tough time separating from checks.

Does that mean the penguins are have a 31% less chance to score? Or while on the ice the opponent has a 31% less chance to score?

I.might even be ok with lafferty with sid and jake. If we wanna keep.tanev down further. I dont think chucky lasts here past feb. I dunno what kinda return he gets us, but maybe a package with desmith or jarry gets a very solid return.

Kahun, McCann and Tanev would be my 3rd line moving forward. When Bjug comes back, I'm moving him to wing or maybe try to trade him.
- madmike71

So Hornqvist with Sid? I've always a him back with Bjugstad on the 3rd since they were so effective together, but McCann as looked so good I'd like to see him at 3C. Not sure where to put Hornqvist though.

He also wants to play a puck possession game, which isn’t Tanev’s game. Sid has been caught on camera criticizing team mates for dumping to chase.
