Agreed and Approved!! Let's get him on the cheap and trade Stecher for a Simmonds-type player!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is almost so obvious it hurts. Bring him in for the bottom pairing and if teams are offering 950k just offer him a pro-rated 1.5m. Who cares as he would fill the need for this year before somebody else comes in full time next year. Then we trade Stecher for somebody else that helps us or even a reclaimed 2nd to be honest. Edler Myers Hughes Tanev Tryakmin Bogosian Benn Fantenberg Again, that looks like a playoff D to me with some nice asset management to boot..... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Can't hurt for the Canucks to kick the tires on Bogosian. At the very least he would be "free" depth - no assets lost. He's a veteran RHD who hasn't quite developed into what he was projected to be, but should still be a serviceable defender in the playoffs if needed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a complete no risk, high value move, unless there is something bigger to the story than we have heard. Perfect 3rd pairing D that can move up in case of injury.

86Viking Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Trade Stech or Tanev with the market being so hot, get some decent picks back and sign Bogo for remainder of this year! Sure cup contenders are looking at him as a free asset to pick up at the TDL. my guess the laffs will be all over it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would likely sign dirt cheap and play his rear end off trying to prove Buffalo wrong and earn a contract with another team in the offseason. It's a can't miss (outside of the fact that at least half the league would probably want to do this too). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I would be OK if they get Bogo. Then trade Stecher (for Simmonds?) as it seems he's not in future plans. Edited February 22, 2020 by BPA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Canucks are one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Are the Canucks being pushed around? Does Bogosian throw down? Hell yeah. He can skate and has a heavy shot. I don’t understand the resistance to the thought of acquiring a 6’3” 226 lbs defenseman who has good mobility and a heavy shot, on a cheap show me contract. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Probably goes to the Laffs, where he could crack the top 4 with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I wouldn't mind signing him and trading Stecher. Worst case scenario he plays 15 minutes a game like Stecher is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are definitely an option for him. I honestly think he balances actually getting a shot to make the playoffs which he has never done, and also wanting to be able to showcase himself for this summer as a UFA. I think that is the Canucks, Leafs, Carolina, Vegas, or Edmonton. On higher contenders, he probably isn’t going to get much chance to play. On worse teams he won’t make the playoffs. We had better be in on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha that would be awesome. That is about the going price for Stecher. If that’s the case, how much of a gap is it to Lias Andersson or Puljujarvi? Sign Bogosian and trade Stecher and Gadjovich for Puljujärvi (For next year). I know it’s in conference but neither of those players are going to bite us.

We could then package Stech with Baer for maybe Simmons. Maybe that would be almost enough to entice them. A 25 year old top 6 D who's an RFA and a project player in his mid 20s. They need bodies for a rebuild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
