Value of: Zach Bogosian

[HogtownSabresfan]

Even if the Sabres eat 50%, he's a massive cap hit on pro-rated basis for a deadline move.

I can Sabres taking 50% if they have no other deals. Buffalo probably wants rookie bonuses to count against this year's cap and is looking to shed salary.

Buffalo Sabres place D Zach Bogosian on waivers - TSN.ca

Any takers?

Leafs should at a very reduced price ..

Leafs should at a very reduced price ..

Heck no.

No thanks, we're still on the Dumba hunt

 

[Jerkbait]

Heck no.

Heck yes.. they need D help Now...reduced costs... other wise its gonna be a short playoff run if playoffs at all.... of course he isnt the answer but the leafs are one D injury away from collapse. Can you imagine if muzzin or barrie got hurt right now ??

Dude, Bogosian sucks. He is in no way "D help". I'd rather play Marincin....and i can't stand Marincin.

Agreed he lacks but they need short term help and a physical style. Of he comes cheap I'd take a slight risk

Looks like Zach is willing to retain 100% himself for the Sabres.

 

[Yatzhee]

Sabres just got roughly 5 mil in cap space, a week before the deadline no less.

If they go the mutual contract termination route there should be lots of interest around the league for around league minimum.

That’s probably what he is thinking. Made about $4.5/$6 mill so far this season. Willing to sacrifice the remaining $1.5 mill to earn around $200K or so in a minimum contract with a good team.

If buffalo could not trade him at 50% retained might as well go ahead and terminate the contract. Unless they have another Dman that they wish to trade in which case they may not want Zach to be on the open market.

Mutual contract termination, here we come.

If his contract gets terminated then Leafs should be all over this

I know the Leafs need some help on D, but just because Bogosian shoots right, doesn't make him a fit for the Leafs. I'd rather play a LHD who's an all around better player than just force Bogosian in because he has a right handed shot. Truth be told, Bogosian has never really been all that good at the NHL level and he's also been unable to stay healthy. I'm not entirely sure why anybody would want him at this point than than his right handedness?

If Buffalo is trying to move Risto and Miller still, I don't think they terminate Bogo until after the TDL. Why eliminate a possible candidate for a trade? If he is terminated after that, I assume he's still allowed to sign with another team or are they rules against that?

 

[DJN21]

later skater...

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

His only option other than to report to Rochester is to get traded to a team with cap space, because other than that there are none. I mean personally despite his suspension, he should just leave the Sabres.

Bogo has never played a whole season healthy. Let alone never ever played a playoff game.

 

[Kublakhan]

I would love to see Bogo sitting in the leafs pressbox

 

[Rhodes 81]

Man it's really incredible how mediocre his career has been when he had such promise. He got slaughtered by injuries and was never able to find a groove his whole career.

Why? Bogosian sucks.

 

[rajuabju]

Injuries for sure have played a part... but he's also just never quite lived up to the pre-draft hype that was being heaped on the D crop from that years draft class. I remember there were many Kings fans angry we took Doughty over Bogo.

Probably the right move, mutual termination and hope a contender needs depth D help. As a bottom pairing guy, and not playing top 4 minutes, he can still help improve a team looking to go deep.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

13 seasons, 600+ games and never seen a playoff game. That’s brutal. His only chance this season is a mutual contract termination and sign with a playoff bound club at league minimum. It’s still possible his NHL career is over and he never sees playoff hockey from the players bench.

 

[Chainshot]

Why? Bogosian sucks.

Masochism?

 

[tsujimoto74]

Masochism?

I mean, he'd fit right in with the rest of their D in that he's terrible at defending and good at offending.
