Dreger: Zach Bogosian has requested a trade

[jaric1862]

Winnipeg

 

[Ralonzo]

Babs will want him on the leafs

Babs who? Streisand?

 

[LMFAO]

Back to the Peg?

I'd still take him, but I won't lie he does have a bad contract. I do see him taking a contract with whatever team is insanely desperate for D at something between $1-3 Million maybe potentially bouncing around to many teams.

He was good during his tenure with the Jets, but injuries just caught up to him. But I still think he has juice left in the tank.

But the reason LA gives Buffalo Toffoli is because he's a pending UFA and Buffalo would be looking to contend, plus no teams wouldn't retain salary and get what they need at no extra costs.

The Kings could easily just take on the full contract for Bogo.. now you'd obviously had to add because Buffalo has zero leverage.. they have too many Dmen.. Bogo and your 1st gets Toffoli! nothing less!

Babs who? Streisand?

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

The money he’s made in his career was highway robbery. His best season was his rookie year. Talk about not living up to expectations. I get he wants to play but man, he’s not good, always injuried and carries a brutal cap hit for this season.

I wouldn’t dump Brandon Manning for him.

42.300M career earnings with another 3.200M to be earned this season. How does a guy with this skill set make 45M before the age of 30?

 

[These Are The Days]

Winnipeg wouldn't be a bad option. But if salary can work Edmonton may not be such a bad idea either simply because they could use the depth

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Ya he said a trade was coming last month and nothing happened.

Noticed that.

And prior to the season starting. Oh, and mid summer.

His skill set is fine. Its the IQ he has a problem with ( i should of said "was" instead of "is" because he's broke now)

 

[Heretic]

Honestly as a Sabres fan that wanted him gone seasons ago, I'm insulted. They obviously stupidly held onto him and most of that was probably because he was hurt/playing horrible. He's finally healthy-ish after multiple surgeries and now he wants out. I was planning on just waiting out the season to bring the champagne out but obviously he needs it more than me. My dude should feel happy a club held onto him this long.

 

[old kummelweck]

He's a good PKer and has some leadership. Receiving team would get a fight or two out of him. He sees the end of his career barrelling toward him like a freight train, he knows he can't earn that next paycheck in Buffalo.

I've been wondering lately if he isn't injured again, just because he seems to be a little slower than I remember him, but it could just be the NHL has gotten that much faster. He's been making some really bad decisions in the dzone.

 

[LastWordArmy]

I think it happens to be honest; they are very close cap wise and are both UFAs

Neither are very valuable

Rutherford may just be looking for a depth dman

Even with his recent struggles, Galchenyuk has far, far more upside than Bogosian. That offer would be stupid for Pitt to take.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Detroit did send many defensemen down so I could see the Red Wings doing it, plus they have cap space. But why I don't see it happening is because Detroit's vets are likely retiring there. I highly doubt the Jets bring him back for obvious reasons that have nothing to do with his contract.

Arizona, Columbus, Los Angeles, would also make good use of him. But I think Kings and Coyotes would be the two teams most likely to add him.

Zach Bogosian to Los Angeles for Tyler Toffoli

Zach Bogosian, Carter Hutton, and Stars 7th 2020 to Arizona for Antti Raanta

Why would Detroit bring in an expensive veteran UFA?

 

[FedorTyutin]

Yea, he’s qualified to probably work at a rental store of some type

You know when you see something low key on the internet and start laughing out loud with no one around? Just happened with this. Totally my style of humor.

 

[TheProspector]

He's one of the worst defencemen in the National Hockey League, on one of the worst defensive squads in the National Hockey League. I doubt there is any interest him at any price, except if he's traded along with some picks as a cap dump.

Seeya in Europe, Bogo.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Winnipeg is the last place he would go. We would give you something nice to ship him to NY so he can hang out with Trouba again, though..

 

[TheFinalWord]

Dreger breaking this story. Let me guess who is agent is...could it be Ferris?

I don't have an issue with Dreger, but whenever he has inside knowledge that seems to come from players, they're almost always tied to Ferris. I'm assuming this is the same case.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Why would Detroit bring in an expensive veteran UFA?

Probably because they can afford to?

 

[SoundAndFury]

It's called "pulling a Seabrook". It's when you are old, overpaid, largely useless player but feel people should never scratch you and generally give you the benefit of the doubt because you are an "experienced veteran leader", in addition to being old and overpaid.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Likely going to need to retain close to max but the value/demand with him isn't going to really be there.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Why would Detroit bring in an expensive veteran UFA?

cap space for said player, plus assets to take said player.

 

[Stephen]

Hard to believe this guy was drafted between Drew Doughty and Alex Pietrangelo.

 

[Kranix]

He's so bad

 

[IceNeophyte]

cap space for said player, plus assets to take said player.

So you would take him as a cap dump. I get that. Since he's UFA, I would just put him on waivers if I were the Sabres.
