Comparing Panthers centers Nick Bjugstad and Vincent Trocheck

If you think the Cats have a stud in Bjugstad, wait until you see what they have in Trocheck.

There's no denying that Florida Panthers center Nick Bjugstad had a quality season. His 24 goals led the team, and he set a new career high with 43 points in 72 games. The big bodied 22-year-old had a knack for finding tiny holes in opposing goaltenders, and firing the puck into the net (usually from absurd angles). His prowess for scoring, in fact, had many pundits and fans considering him to be the team's top pivot ahead of Aleksander Barkov for most of the season.
