News Article: Zach Bogosian - Signs with Tampa

My hostility lies with Botterill for not making the obvious choice of waiving Bogosian much sooner.

That decision cost us wins that would've gotten us into the qualifiers and also an NHL caliber defenseman from our roster.

Exactly. Al in the name of keeping the card partner for the captain.

I don’t wish Bogo ill in life. But his constantly broken body and outsized contract for his contributions, his constant lack of intelligent play and his his tempestuous departure all left me with more than a little animosity toward him as a player.

Bogo didn't fit in here and never assumed a consistent role mainly due to long stretches of injuries and inconsistent play. His pluses were the sandpaper (Bogo and Eichel laughing after a scrum) some scoring and a steadying influence.
His minuses included bad passes which because of the bad quality of the roster, couldn't make up for it. His contributions weren't enough for his big salary.

Now with Tampa, he's surrounded by much better players who have been together for a long time. They can overcome his mistakes and allow him to take risks with better finishers. I hear he's doing really well now and I wish Bogo success in Tampa Bay.

He's going to have derpy flashbacks when he sees the B's sweaters bearing down on him, grenades a-comin this series

Let's not get crazy. We weren't winning more games by waiving Bogosian. He should have been gone but the incompetence of Sabres management would have still lost us all those games.

[Doug Prishpreed]

He's been reliable for one minor every two games and down to under 15 minutes this last game, which is probably why I didn't notice any mistakes from him. Seems like the same ol Bogo to me.

Remember when we told ourselves that swapping Myers, who was actually good at hockey, for Bogosian would be an upgrade. Good times.

He was an upgrade for a couple weeks.

 

[HaNotsri]

His lack of humility seriously provoked me.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

He's not our problem anymore

Fans hating guys like myers, ehrhoff and sekera because they weren't tough was something I'll never forget

Only took a few years of watching mike Weber, bogo, rivet, gorges and to some extent risto and McCabe to get people to realize there has to be balance

 

[AndreRoy]

We’re loving Bog-Orr-sian in Tampa.
