Jay Woodcroft Announces a Questionable Lineup Move For Tonight's Game That Leaves a Few Fans Quite Upset
For the 2nd night against the Winnipeg Jets, the Edmonton Oilers have announced changes in the lineup.
After the trade deadline, Ken Holland didn't do a lot, but the new acquisition will be making a debut tonight:
With the recent trade from Arizona, the Oilers have added Nick Bjugstad, who will slot in for Kostin tonight on the 4th line.
Teams will always benefit from added depth in the forward lines and Bjugstad was having a great year in Arizona, before the trade but it's already causing a stir on the web:
Kostin has definitely endeared himself to the Oilers fanbase, as someone whose been on a tear with 10 goals in the last 33 games.
It is a controversial decision to give Bjugstad a look over Kostin, considering the bottom-6 has picked up scoring recently, but before the move, Bjugstad had 15 goals in 59 games and will easily contribute in the long-run.
Bjugstad can only be a net positive presence, once Jay Woodcroft finds the spot for him, even if Kostin comes out one game.
