News Article: Zach Bogosian - Signs with Tampa

[dotcommunism]

Let me know when they've hoisted the Prince of Wales Trophy. Until then they're a 2-3 round out choke job. Cooper hasn't gotten them past round 3.

That's true if you decide to ignore the season where they lost in the finals to Chicago.

Congrats on another first round exit, Tampa Bay.

I guess he wanted to make sure his streak of non-playoff performances finally comes to an end. Not that I expect him to play once Tampa's injured D-men get back to full health.

 

[Ace]

Is there any chance they play before 3 tomorrow and after getting a look at him they put him back on the market?

For their sake?

Lots of flea markets in Florida. Lots.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Tampas D must be pretty bad or super banged up for them to think Bogo would help.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Congrats on another first round exit, Tampa Bay.

Buffaluck. Tampa wins the cup and Bogosian is named MVP.

Buffaluck. Tampa wins the cup and Bogosian is named MVP.

If they win the Cup with Bogo wining MVP, well that just pure evil.

 

[Buffaloed]

Buffaluck. Tampa wins the cup and Bogosian is named MVP.

And we spend the next 5 years analyzing how Bogo was misused here.

And we spend the next 5 years analyzing how Bogo was misused here.

5 years that will feel like 10 but actually only be 3.25 years.

 

[SundherDome]

For the exact amount he lost, I just keeping getting more reasons to dislike Tampa.

Still believe he could have got something for him

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Is this through all of next year? How does the pro ration work?

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

No one in a million years would have convinced me that Bogosian was an asset any team questing for the Cup would look at.

This must mean that Sheary and Vesey and Mojo and Erod have some value to someone out there........

 

[old kummelweck]

not pro-rated. Since it's the total of what they are paying him, that's the cap hit. As opposed to paying the remainder of the contact, they take on the whole contract. Thus doing it this way as opposed to waiver claim

Not at a 5M cap hit.

If as a UFA, able to get any offer available, he signed at 1.3 there's no way a team would have given assets to pay him 2.5.

 

[sabremike]

We FINALLY got our revenge on Tampa for Dahlin!!!!

 

[Buffaloed]

The contract is only for the rest of this season
CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
It's prorated for the remaining season (~22%)

How is Buff termination only costing him 600k? He’s earning 6 mil this season. Number should be double that.

 

[Buffaloed]

How is Buff termination only costing him 600k? He’s earning 6 mil this season. Number should be double that.

He's didn't earn $6M. It was more like $4.3M. He stopped getting paid the day he was suspended. They probably sent a payment they shouldn't have.

So Buffalo termination costing him 1,7 million, not 600k.

That's the way I understand it.

Maybe another team interested in him with cap space and a need for a dman would take him at 50% for a 7th.

Good. Now he can complain about his lack of playing time somewhere else.
