Another training camp, another Bogosian injury. No wonder Botts didn't trade anyone. It's a "perk" if Bogo even shows up.

I wonder how much he earned per minute of actual play time

The god damn Germans got nothin' to do with it.

"The Germans?"

"Forget it, he's rolling."

non-contact summer puck, no comparison.

I bet Botts made him play this summer and has been trying to trade him. Botts made sure to add him to the video list opening day, and the mother (frank)er is still here. As soon as he entered the locker room he got hurt.

The dude had MAJOR hip ligament surgery... do you know the seriousness of that?? It's like an ACL or Achilles... You wanna just rush and throw him back? No. Let him play into it. He is what a 7 year vet now.. missing some training camp isn't going to change his game.

Approx 342 minutes played, 6M in salary. Comes out to $17,543.86 per minute.

On the contrary, Eichel made $2,817.16 per minute.

Bogosian says he's recovered from season-ending hip surgery and will be ready to go for Buffalo's preseason activities, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports. "I needed to get it fixed and we decided to be proactive about it because we knew it would be a long time," said the veteran blueliner. "There's never any great time for surgery, but I'm glad to have it done when I did. I'm having a great summer of training now."

About as ready as he normally is. Which is, not.

Im not questioning the seriousness of his injury (conspiracy) but the guy has only played in 159 of a possible 328 games as a Sabre, been a minus every season, with a total of 43 points.

Every season it the same talk, like he has talent (he doesnt) or strength (big doesnt mean strong) or leadership (I dont see it)

Yes I looked these numbers up, 6 million dollar man.

How does someone end up with all this money doing nothing?

Have the Sabres had a single player with a Plus rating in the last like 5 years who has played more than 41 games?? Honest question.

IMO, plus/minus is already the WORST comparison tool especially when on a team that has been dead last 3 of the last 4 years.

It depends on what your definition of "is" is

.27 PPG as a Dman

Not terrible at all. Better or equal to many of our bottom-6 forwards from the past 4 years.

Dude is made of porcelain though

I'm still checking the tape, we don't know if Larsson or Eichel will be 1C yet.
