Edmonton Oilers -- Pittsburgh Penguins

[Penguin]

F- Nick Bjugstad (82con)


F- Scott Hartnell (70con)

[Edmonton Mike]

We have a deal.

Sometimes an offer makes too much sense to turn it down. Didn't want to trade Hartnell; he was as close as untouchable can get. Bjugstad is ten years younger and costs 900,000$ less. I'm not expecting a significant drop off in numbers (PTS, HG, TA) and his EN, PE and CON ratings are way better. Center as an alternate position is always a plus for me. I'm assuming Bern wants to go the whole way again this year -and he can- so adding a bruiser with a scoring touch and more leadership like Hartnell makes sense. Win-Win for both teams.

All the best for Scott Hartnell & his new team.

Mike pretty much said what I was going to say, Bjugstad is 10 years younger, better CON, much better PE rating, but #Hartnelldown is just too much of a fucking beauty of a player in real life and I add another 99 hitting bad boy with a good shot. As for his endurance, he will play 50sec and 40sec PP2 so he should be fine.
