A top 6 forward would be better for us than Bogo IMO.

Again though, I'm not looking to outright trade him just to trade him. IMO the only one that should be off the table is Risto though.

He isn't going to move Bogosian, he traded for him because Myers was soft and he didn't like that, he wanted to be bigger and stronger to play against. Not being a smart ass.

Trading Bogo is a bad idea strictly from the standpoint that our D is very young to begin with. Then you're going to move a guy that actually has a lot of experience. Sounds like a bad idea to me at the moment.

He would never net one.

I have little doubt he will be here long term though.

Really? I disagree. Completely. Murray traded for him. He embodies the rebuild and he's our top 2 dman, at worst he's a league top 4.

Edit: I red your post incorrectly. Yes. He will be here long term.

I said in a previous post you would need to replace him with someone

Ristolainen has 100 games
Gorges is a vet
Ruwhedel will be 25 (I think)
Pysyk is going on 23

It's not that young of a group

Being a "vet" isn't always just about their age. Technically, Ruhwedel and Bogosian aren't that different in age, if at all. But Bogo has years more NHL experience.

The Leafs want to move Kessel so bad, i'll give them the other 1st we got and Hodgson for Kessel. Screw the Leafs.

Now if we could only take that approach for (frank)bird No'Reilly, that'd be fantastic. Less cost than Kessel tho.

If Bogosian could of netted a top 3 forward he would have been moved a long time ago by Winnipeg.

Apparently Chevy was listening to offers on him for a while like Murray was with Myers. Chevy did the trade because he upgraded this year and got the prospects.

And 0 playoff experience. Experience is over rated, especially if you have never even been to the postseason

I'm not saying he's worth a top line forward. I'm saying, (frank) anyone who wants him for a lesser return than a top 3 forward.

Disagree. By a mile.

If Murray is that in love with ROR, but COL needs a steady D-man coming back, I would assume with how highly he thinks of McCabe/Pysyk/Risto/Zadorov he would think about it.

He isn't trading Bogosian, let it go.

Bogosian has been on losing teams his whole career. What experience is he bringing to the table that Josh Gorges or Mike Weber don't have?

Again, this is assuming someone wants him for a good young top 6 forward

So what you're saying is you think having Weber and Gorges as the only vets on the back end is sufficent.

I disagree, but you obviously have your reasons why you feel that way and I have mine.
