A Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguin All Star.He will probably be an all-star with you guys.

Marc Methot, Cam Atkinson and Vladislav Gavrikov were all sixth rounders. Sure the percentages are not good but Methot and Gavrikov were both good d-men for us and ended top yielding solid trade returns. Cam is one of the most popular players in club history. 6th rounder is necessarily a nothing pick.Rooting for bemmer to light it up for Pittsburgh then
Nylander is a nothing and the pick is a nothing unless it becomes a 3rd.
Wish Bemmer well and I think he’ll be a good addition to Pittsburgh.
revenge for what?Anyone hoping for a couple of Bemstrom revenge hat tricks?
My bad, I thought he still had one more year. Either way I'm fine. He just didn't work out.Bemstrom is an RFA next season
He's a tweener. He shows flashes but his game is not quite good enough for one of the NHL's worst teams. He's an AHLer in reality who really belongs in Europe.
Here's what we're getting: https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/212641/alexander-nylander
Seems like an even swap then.
I like this move, Nylander makes the minimum this season with no guarantee he gets resigned. We are out from under that Bemstrom contract next season.
Getting rid of one of Jarmo's pet projects.
We've officially started purging Jarmo's golden boys who never amounted to anything.
If I could find some who loved me as much as Jarmo loved Bemstrom I'd be a happy man. Jarmo hyped Bemstrom to no end but in the long run Bemstrom just didn't cut it. He was given far more opportunities than many players have gotten.False narrative. Jarmo waived him at least once, maybe twice? No takers.
This might be the FO honoring a trade request from a blocked player. They're putting Bemstrom in a much better position. The Pens aren't nearly as deep.

TFW overslept once and got banished to hockey Siberia on the depth chart and virtually never be given another chance while he tears up the AHL. Bemstrom was given opportunity after opportunity here.

I'm not sure what the job is. He came over here from Europe as a sniper who seemed to really only score over the in Ovechkin's office.Bemstrom was the best player for the job. You're portraying it as only about giving a young player a chance, as if the club made a sacrifice by putting him out there. We were giving him a chance and also getting the role properly filled. He scored a fair amount for his ice time and played both ends responsibly. On a less deep club he still has a job.
TFW is pure offense and not more offense than Bemstrom. You're oversleeping on how big of a difference there is between these two players at the NHL level.

We are a bottom 4 team in the league. There aren't many clubs with less depth than the CBJ. We have an excess of warm bodies that we couldn't unload. I don't think that is depth.

Can't wait to watch season finale where Nylander scores the GWG, pushing CBJ out of position in the standings which eventually would have rewarded us 1OA.Really no downside to this move.
Damn. If the 10-12th forward point getters drove the engine, the CBJ would have multiple Stanley Cups.There are tasks all over the ice, and Bemstrom did most of them adequately. He was never much of a goal scorer for the Jackets, in the office or elsewhere. More of a decent all around player.
Ignorant take. No offense but you could have tried looking it up before spouting that.
The Jackets have more scoring depth than your average club, while the Penguins have less. The Jackets have one of the better 5v5 offenses in the league (5th in goals).
The Jackets 7th through 12th scorers, not counting Bemstrom (13th) or Laine (14th) have the following point totals:
20
19
18
16

The Penguins aren't missing any major scorers, nonetheless their 7th through 12th scorers have the following point totals:
20
18
10
8

Here's Tampa's:

Both clubs have 3rd liners with less production than Bemstrom. He'll have a job on a club with less depth than the Jackets.
His brother is a great hockey player……The Bemmer era is over.
What do we know about Nylander?
It wouldn't surprise me but I don't think it's likely. I do expect him to be a good secondary scorer tho.Watch him end up on line with Crosby and turn out to be the next Guentzel
