GUSTAV NYQUIST - RW - 30 - $5.5MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2023-2024
LAST UPDATED 9/1/19
In their effort to stop the bleeding after the departures of Artemi Panarin, Matt Duchene, and Sergei Bobrovsky, GM Jarmo Kekalainen threw cash at UFA winger Gustav Nyquist. This wasn't a downright stupid signing, and Nyquist is a very capable player, I just don't think that it's wise to pay pretty much exclusively for a players' decline. On to Nyquist as a player, though. Gustav Nyquist is a fine offensive producer who won't carry a team but will contribute regularly within limits. He's got speed, he has decent puck skills, and a fine shot. 40-50 points with maybe 20 goals is the expectation, but with better linemates he can score really well. He's not a self-starting winger on his own, in order to maximize his potential he needs others to finish the plays he creates or he needs to finish the plays others create for him. Again, he's not the most prolific scorer on Earth but he's consistent and defensively diligent, making him a regular second line player who can fit on a first line with some great linemates.
