Nick Bjugstad is a player I see surprising a lot of fans this season. He had a career high of 49 points last season, which could very well rise into the 50s if he continues to play in a top-six role.

Bjugstad’s success has come in large part thanks to last year, where he moved to the wing and started playing on a line with Aleksander Barkov and Evgeni Dadonov. If the Cats choose to keep that unit together, you could see huge jumps in Bjugstad’s point total.

Big Nick was just one shy from 20 goals last season, and if he spends the entire year on that line, you could very well see his production rise to 25-30 goals in a heartbeat.

As a late-round selection in the draft, Nick Bjugstad would definitely be a nice addition to your team.
