The Minnesota Wild made their first significant roster move of the 2020 offseason Friday night, acquiring center Nick Bjugstad from the Pittsburgh Penguins. This means that the Blaine native, former Minnesota Mr. Hockey, and former captain of the Golden Gophers is headed back to the State of Hockey.
In return, the Wild are sending a conditional 2021 draft pick back to Pittsburgh. According to The Athletic’s Michael Russo, the pick is a seventh rounder conditioned on how many games Bjugstad plays for the Wild.
Conditional seventh-rounder is based on how many games Bjugstad plays next season, I believe.
