I know Bemstrom just never really worked here, but why would we trade him for a guy who’s been in the NHL for 8 years and barely has over one season of games played?

Someday we’ll all fondly tell our grandchildren about the Bemstrom era of CBJ hockey

Basically the same player for slightly less money. It’s really just a free draft pick lol
I’m fine with this
StoppageTimeCollapse
I feel very whelmed by this trade.
I assume Alex Nylander is on a more team-friendly contract?

Neither guy was working out in either location. Bemstrom needed new scenery.
With how barren the Pittsburgh pipeline is, im not at all impressed with a 25 year old career AHLer who’s played 5 games all season for the Pens.

This sounds dumb but who made the trade if jarmo is gone? JD?
adam3vergreen
If any of you hated Bemstrom, you’re going to fucking loathe Nylander.
Also inb4 Bemmy hangs a hatty on us every time we play Pittsburgh
gazza_lad
I guess it’s more just moving bemstrom to get anything for him (the 6th round pick hopefully).
That or JD mistook which by nylander he was getting.

This entire sub undervalues Emil Bemstrom.

The question now is who takes Emil’s place on the roster? Assuming Nylander goes to Cleveland

Bemstrom and Puljujarvi combine for 60 goals next season.
ThunderousDemon86
Whats the condition?
Elexeh
Honestly, Pittsburgh is in a lot of trouble unless Dubas pulls some crazy shit out of his ass.
EK65 is not solving their problems and they’re falling behind the wildcard spot every night.
THE CONDITION: If Bemstrom scores 6 or more goals the rest of the season, the 6th round pick becomes a 3rd round pick.
So anyway, yeah Emil wooo go Bemmer wooo always believed in you definitely never said a bad thing about you woooo go light the lamp baby!

I can’t believe Bemstrom played in 204 NHL games.
tread_lightly94
Wonder if this says anything about our plans for the rest of the roster…at the very least getting something for Roslovic. Good early no brainer move from JD and probably Josh Flynn

I can’t believe we gave away a good defensive player for absolutely nothing

I will never forget where I was when this blockbuster was announced. Bemstrom was never going to be in the future plans nor can I imagine Nylander will be either. But just for that 2026 6th rounder to come and dominate the AHL by 2030. I guess its better than nothing
triforce28
This guy went unclaimed on waivers earlier this year. Getting a draft pick at all was a good deal

In the history of all the NHL trades, this is certainly one of them

Would love it if this is his all in trade lmao.
still don’t get why Jarmo rushed bemstrom so fast
