I think Carolina's situation may make them aggressive.

Would you think JR would possibly take on a Dman that was overpaid just so he didn't have to give up much assets to get him... For example, a Subban, Vlasic, Burns...

I'm sure he would and based on the market prices so far, so would a lot of teams. They're all going to offer him the same money, probably league min to $800K. I think it will come down to two things for Bogo, since he'd ultimately be making the decision.

1) Does he want to play for that team?
2) Does he think he'll get real playing time?

I think playing time will tilt the scales for him. I'm sure he knows once Marino and Dumo are healthy he's going to be scratched.

At least if bogo ended up in Pitt it would be at no cost. I’d rather compare his metrics to Ruhw or trotman and see who is truly worse as a depth defender.

It's Bogo and I don't have to look.

When healthy he is you 5th best RD. He might be 6th as Trotman has had great success on his call ups.

The most talked about stuff for the Pens right now seems to be:

Simmonds
Bogo
And Jumbo...

I ask...Why? Sounds like move for the sake of moves.

Bogo is another underachieving 3rd overall pick D-man....GMJR loves those...

It's annoying. I hope it's just media talk.

Well pitt needs a 4th line right now. So that’s why id hope for jumbo or kovy or something like that. If some players make it back in the lineup playoff insurance for the next injury so we don’t have to play aggazino/Angelo etc.

I just don't get the treatment of Riikola.

Agozzino is on waivers

Give up a goal, lose a player. Awesome.

(frank) Peterson. All he does is flail all over the ice

Maybe this makes JR snag a decent LD and when Petts returns the left is just too good to dress JJ....

Who got hurt now?

Was that defensive dynamo dom simon that got blown by off that draw? Happened yesterday to him too I believe.

Maybe? I mean, depending on the injury I think it's likely 100% they pick up a dman.

This D.....Yikes. Marino and Dumo can't come back soon enough.
