Nick Bjugstad is bringing the value this season
PHNX Coyotes: Craig Morgan discussing Arizona Coyotes potential trade chip in forward Nick Bjugstad.

“So many ways, right? Listen, you hear this talked about all the time, when you’re in a rebuild and you have young guys on a roster, you need to surround them with quality veterans who basically show them the ropes. Show them the way to behave, to practice, to eat. All the things that long-time veterans learn over the course of an NHL career.
Nick Bjugstad has just been such a positive force in this room and you know it when you’re around him, he’s just got his light personality. You really like the guy. You can’t help but like the guy. That’s rubbed off on the room and that was a big reason they brought him in.
But he’s also been a really good defensive center, a match-up center, and he’s provided some offense. We’re looking at maybe a five-year high for him in terms of production as well.
So there’s a lot of value for boogie/Bjuggy (sp?) right now.
Which Coyotes players could be dealt at the NHL trade deadline?
We went through each potential trade piece, starting with forward Nick Bjugstad.
