Kyosama Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Tangradi > Peluso I'm hoping O'Dell can even earn a full time spot and maybe even provide a bit of offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Bond Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I remember when we traded for Kassian that I thought we had traded for Bogosian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFrame14 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Edler for Bogo. Good job Winnipeg Jets. I wish we had a big nasty TOP 4D. Settle for Fistric and Fraser at this point. for 5,6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Nice job Jets for sure,but the length is a sign that they will have to continue overpaying either with length or price for,,well ever! No argument locking this guy up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Reading the comments after the NHL article Jets fans seem split on this , personally it is a risk I would not have taken he does have all the tools to be a good physical D-man but -42 in his career is kinda a scary number , and signing a 23 year old d-man to a 7 year 5+ mil contract is a risky proposition , this contract could look good in 3-4 years or look bad , I do not think he has shown enough that warrants that much money but the potential is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billabong Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Could be a solid deal in 2-3 years or an injury rittled 1st round bust...only time will tell They really don't have a bad line up but I still hate buff on d...wpg ain't going anywhere with him playing as a 4th forward and leading the rush (a la gragnani). Correct me if I'm wrong bit I think I heard he prefers d, I say let him get back to that 2010 playoff run form that know all to well about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 If Bogo's development continues to improve like it has his first two seasons in Winnipeg, and of the cap continues to rise, that contract will be golden. If anything, signing this contract and all his comments past and present show that he is committed to the organization and the city. He has participated in a handful of off-Ice events in the city during the off-season, so he clearly spends time in the city and enjoys it very much Too much emphasis is placed on "no one will want to play in Winnipeg", as the re-signing of Pavelec, Ladd, Little, Wheeler and Bogosian demonstrate.

Kyosama Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Winnipeg is the bomb. Anyone in their right mind should want to play there. As for the contract - love the Jets and Bogosian, but it's a little out of hand. Imo there should have been a bridge contract before he got there - 104 pts in 5 nhl seasons (no pts don't tell the whole story - and neither does his +/-) - his underlying numbers are ok - and he has a great deal of potential with premier tools - but 7 years at 36 million - I think that should have come after a 2yr, 7.5 ish deal... Perhaps this is what both sides wanted though. Regardless, I really like Bogosian and am glad to see him remain a Jet (that is, unless he were dealt here ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Keep in mind he'd be a UFA at the end of your bridge contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsenation15 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yeah, good point - he came into the league very young and even though he's only 23, he's going into his 6th season, so I guess this was as it had to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik Kesler Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Solid player on a deal that will look cheap in 2-3 years. I wonder how much better he would look on paper if he didn't play on a team with the 29th, 26th, and 25th GAA the last 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
