Price Check: Oliver Bjorkstrand

Writer Chris Feldman evaluates Oliver Bjorkstrand's strong start to the season with the New York Rangers, questioning if an extension may become too expensive. Signed in free agency as a potential stopgap, the veteran forward has produced significant offense despite spending considerable time skating on the team's fourth line.

Feldman notes Bjorkstrand ranks tied for second in goals and seventh in points for the Rangers. With more than 700 NHL games played, Bjorkstrand continues to offer reliable two-way play, leading Feldman to argue the team could benefit from retaining him for another one or two seasons.
