Nice depth man!!

 

[LeafParade]

I did not see this coming.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Quality depth .. Hope the price tag is reasonable.

 

[The Podium]

Meh, dont really love Bogo. Guess that spells the end of Dermott unless hes a league min #7.

 

[stickty111]

Well there's your guy with presence. If his role is 7th D, I'm fine with it.
He takes up a million of the cap space we just got. There is more coming?

 

[Stephen]

Perfect. Righting a missed opportunity in February. Think he slots into the 7th spot and tags in on matchups. What was wrong wit him last year? If he doesn’t need the load management maybe he can play a larger role.

 

[Doublerum1975]

Nice wanted schenn will take it

 

[BigBlu]

Quality depth .. Hope the price tag is reasonable.

1M

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I think this means no Weegar (or anyone good) but that's fine, I think the defense is pretty set now

 

[Cleetus]

yes!!!

 

[Bloomberg]

Rielly - Bogo
Muzzin - Brodie

 

[RoadWarrior]

So it’s really Johnson for Anderson and Bogosian.

Not bad.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Uhhh, so is this the end of Dermott then? I don't see how he fits into the lineup at this point.

EDIT: Or Holl maybe.

 

[LeafChief]

He's a tough son of a bitch. This should stop some of the crying.

1x1 can't go wrong.

 

[showtime8]

I like this as a 3rd pairing guy with support for Sandin/Lehtonen.

 

[BertCorbeau]

$1 mill? That's alright. Cup winning #7 d-man. Adds some physicality to the back end.

Wonder if this means they have a deal for Dermott lined up?

 

[Pinto]

I’ve always liked Bogosian. He never lived up to his draft position and was overpaid for a while but I feel he’s a pretty decent defenseman that has a valuable skill set.

 

[dominicmoore19]

1 mill. Worth it. Still could trade for Weegar I'd imagine.

 

[kk87]

Really hope he's just depth - if he pushes a Lehtonen/Sandin/Dermott out of the lineup that seems like a bit of a downgrade. If he's only getting into the occasional game against tough teams, I don't mind it.

 

[LeafChief]

Also I guess we should expect another move? How do we fit Dermott and Mikheyev under the cap?

 

[The Podium]

What do we have now?

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Holl
Lehtonen - Bogo

Deal Dermott? I dont like the Dermott for Bogo trade off personally unless there is a trade lineup with a decent return. If Dermott is another "soft deal" like AJ this is a meh move to me IMO.

 

[Cor]

Zach Bogosian has never lost a playoff series

 

[Jozay]

Well I was hoping for a more significant player.

Oh well. Passable 7th D.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

I love this move. Bogo is a tough SOB and a quality depth option.

He looked good last year
