Nick Bjugstad was honestly disappointing this season. Part of the reason he missed the beginning of the season was dated back to him breaking his hand in pre-season. This was the last thing Nick needed going into the season. Bjugstad has had issues with injuries before and adding a broken hand to the list didn’t help matters either.
Apart from injuries, soft play has been another flaw shown in Bjugstad’s game. There has been countless amounts of times this year where big Nick has been too soft on the puck and has been outmuscled with ease.
