Not to mention the fact that Myers for him was supposed to be an upgrade. That should've been a sign that Murray didn't know how to evaluate defensemen.
Defensively he was... for about an initial 20 game span. Since? Nope.

I agree, I mentioned resigning him but I watched him closely tonight. He is not even close to the same Bogosian as last year. When he came back from injury last year he played some solid games. He shouldn't be on this team past the deadline(or tomorrow for that matter)TSN. They ragged on Myers constantly, especially the ex-Sabre guys they would have in for the B and C list guests like Barnaby and Peca. And then he went off to the Jets and played the same way he did in Buffalo... and he was liked for it.
Bogosian was a teenage workout warrior who has seeded his own destruction with how he has prepared his body over the years. His training and nutrition come into question with the constant injuries and his inability to address it properly through surgery when things happened. He "toughed it out" even though it hurt him and the team. He has never been a cerebral player, always got by on his physical tools. Those have eroded badly. He does not look like he's well and if he is well, then he needs to go. Moulson him if need be, but he's terrible.

He was slow to react, slow to skate, out of place and didn't win puck battles.
Maybe he just needs to play. Probably needs to shed a little weight.
Maybe he just shouldn't be in the lineup.
The fact that guys like BOGO can't simply be cut from the team highlights a serious flaw in how the NHL works.
They need to eliminate guaranteed Ks from the game next CBA. I'd be willing to miss a season of hockey over it, for the long term good it would have on the game.
I don't expect it to happen, however.
Let's start grading Bogosian after he skates for another month. I thought he was one of our better defenseman last year and in fact was a really great partner and steadying force for Dahlin.
2 hip surgeries in the past 2 years. Time may very well prove to be his friend here.
Maybe. He still makes poor decisions with the puck and takes bad penalties at bad times.
I like that you are positive about sabres players and I too have high hopes but sometimes it can be better to cut ties and move on. I thought the same thing that he was a top 6 defender but this year he is a mess and an UFA. He is not the future of this team.Let's start grading Bogosian after he skates for another month.

It seems like such a small act, but it gives me a glimmer of hope.I am actually surprised that they finally told him to sit.

What? Based on sitting one?
