Bogo is a top pairing defender, but I doubt that would be the case in most any strong D core.He's already a top pair D but we shouldn't expect him to become a more than a 3/4 at best? What?
His game has regressed? Again, what?
He plays the toughest minutes for defensemen on the team (along with Enstrom). Does he look average to you because he's not making sexy rushes? Do you think Byfuglien is a better defenseman than Bogosian because he wheels with the puck and puts up points?
Fact is, for defensemen who you know, play defense, Bogosian is second only to Tobias Enstrom on this team. He is 24 and will most likely not peak until around 30.
Lets think about that for a second, guys.
I also suspect that Jacob Trouba will supplant him on the depth chart relatively soon.
I don't buy the peak at 30 thing either. Bogo is nearing his prime, which usually comes in the mid 20s.
