Leafs sign Bogosian [1 year, 1M]

I told Carlton. He just didn't listen.

Must have been when I was using the ignore function more.

I think

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl

And then Lehtonen/Bogosian as a penciled in 3rd pairing with room for Sandin or Liljegren to make the jump is actually a pretty solid defense.

Yeah that's basically what I see. I also doubt Bogosian plays every single game so that 3rd pairing will see some rotation throughout the season.

Exactly. And it's solid depth in the #7 spot if Dermott sticks around or one of the young players makes a case for the job in camp.

I tell you, it sure makes you wish the Leafs had a young second round or so high scoring CHL centre who you could think of for the 3rd line because this team is shaping up sort of nice.

Man Bogosian's only 30 years old? I pegged him to be closer to 35. Playing for crap teams your whole career really does a number.

I hope his Leafs internal metrics are awesome.
I hope he?s just being used as an occasional b-hole against the Habs and other chippy affairs.

Same draft as Luke Schenn, Alex Pietrangelo, Doughty and Stamkos.

He was drafted in the Schenn draft when defensemen went #2-5. Doughty, Bogosian, some guy named Pietrangelo, then Schenn, in that order.

Does this mean no Jumbo?   

Bye Kerfoot.

[Frank E]

OK. Who they trade now to fit Pietrangelo?

I like this signing, was kind of hoping for it to happen but didn't expect it.
Pretty low risk for 1 year at 1 million.  This gives us a little more much needed size and reach for our backend depth guys.

Good... that we now have someone to blame when things go poorly

It's good. They spent a fair price to acquire a bottom pairing penalty killing defenseman who just did that job reasonably well for the team that won the cup.
