Player Discussion: Zach Bogosian

[NatoGhost]

Rutta 1m please.

 

[J T Money]

Would have loved to keep Bogo at that price tag...

 

[DFC]

So long and thank you.

 

[CupsOverCash]

I thought he would circle back here after the successful playoffs he had. A full year of that would have gotten him a decent payday. Better than what he got today and probably with some term.

 

[These Are The Days]

Damn it... I really wanted him back. Oh well. Thanks for the memories Bogo. They were fantastic while they lasted.

 

[Peacefool]

It was very surprising,was 90% sure he stays. He played a lot here,had great teammates, Tampa good place to live and price 1mil. Uf..but I think we took Schenn over Bogo cuz Bogo never used his body like Schenn. And Schen hits harder and is harder to play against in net front. This is only reason I can see her

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Why schenn over bogo? That is dumb

How do we know Bogo didn’t go to Toronto because he wanted to live there and be a leaf?

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Hedman Rutta
McDonagh Cernak
Sergachev Schenn/Coburn/Foote


It’s not that much of a downgrade. One could argue it’s on par with this past season

I mean....who really actually wants to be a leaf

Pretty much, I mean shatty was good for the odd goal here and there but defensively he was terrible. Bogo would be nice but damn we were so deep on d last year.

 

[Felonious Python]

I guess Bogo got his fill of playoff hockey.

 

[Todd1a]

Why the leafs he wants to lose in the first round ?

 

[LightningStrikes]

 

[Maelmoor]

He had a good run with us, but not convinced he can keep it up for a full season anyways.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Good luck Bogo!

 

[Peacefool]

Good luck Bogo!

Yeah,thx for ur game,for helping us to get the cup,for that awesome goal against CBJ. Good luck

 

[Hoek]

Bogo is from close to the Canadian border in New York. Perhaps the proximity to home was a factor.

 

[DFC]

Good luck Bogo!

Probably gonna go down as the biggest play of his career.

Great story.

 

[Rschmitz]

I'll miss his size and physicality for sure, definitely still a player in this league

 

[AustonMarner]

I mean....who really actually wants to be a leaf

Besides almost every NHLer who grew up in the GTA/Ontario and were Leafs fans?? Which incidentally happens to be a large fraction of current star players in the league.. none i guess

Yeah, how could we forget, what with all the hometown deals and playoff success they've squeezed from that love.

Go enjoy spending 28% of cap on your namesakes.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Came to ask that question myself. Saw both Bogosian and Schenn as viable bargain targets for Toronto but was surprised to see Schenn was re-signed right away, while Bogosian was allowed to walk. Always thought Bogosian was a little better in Tampa? Did the extra $200K make that big of a difference?

This is just a guess, but I’d say they’d rather have Rutta with Hedman on the top pair over Bogosian. And if they do re-sign Rutta, Bolts have

Hedman
Coburn
McDonagh
Schenn
Rutta
Cernak
Sergachev
(It’s also possible Bolts might want to see what they have in Cal Foote)

which could mean Bogosian might be on a rotation or just not be a regular in the lineup. Schenn is ok doing that at this point in his career. Bogo might not be

Also players who don’t like playoff success

No Rutta please


I thought Bogo showed many flashes of being a real difference maker. I guess Rutta was too but in the other direction.
