He wishes it was his contract keeping teams away.

He’ll find one way or another soon enough.

Happy Bogosian contract termination day!

 

[Chainshot]

... all sales are final.

Happy Bogosian contract termination day!

The Don Quijote of Buffalo Sabres has fought his last windmill in the defensive zone. A day to celebrate life. It's getting better all the time.

If there are actually multiple teams contending for his service then I suppose we can take as consolation the fact that other teams have pro scouting on par with Buffalo’s.

Bogo will be just fine as a 7/8 insurance d-man on a minimum Vet salary, just not at the 6 million he was being paid, or even half that with salary retained.

He was 7/8 on a bad team and still somehow made us worse.

Overall. I actually don't think the Sabres are as bad as their record from a talent standpoint. Its just that they have a broken spine and noone standing in front of the net on either end. A 2C and even marginally better goaltending would have made this club competitive. A strange case where they are worse than the sum of their parts.

 

[Tatanka]

Wow!

 

[GameMisconduct]

 

[explore]

If you love something, mutually agree to terminate their contract.

That's not true... Risto is great at screening in front of the net... sometimes he'll even screen the other goalie.

I hope he doesn't Kovie them.

Something something cake and eating..

 

[CrazyMonkey1208]

I hope the Red Wings sign him. Spoiled millionaires refusing to play rubs me the wrong way. Completely unprofessional

 

[Chainshot]

Doesn't he have to clear waivers if he signs somewhere?

 

[Ralonzo]

The other ballad of Zach Bogosian

 

[dotcommunism]

Doesn't he have to clear waivers if he signs somewhere?

No. Players who come over from Europe mid-season have to pass through waivers (unless they were on loan, or on the reserve list of the team they're signing with). If Bogosian's new team wanted to send him down to the AHL, too, he'd have to go through waivers, but it's too late for that now. He wouldn't be able to hit waivers until tomorrow, which means he couldn't clear until Tuesday when it would be too late to send him down.

Thanks! I had lost memory on what those rules are.

Bogo gonna get his name on the cup or at least make the finals eh?

Wherever he lands, I'm rooting against that team.

This. For the years of misery he’s given me having to watch his dumb ass on the ice, it’s the least I can do is boo his new home.

Let me know when they've hoisted the Prince of Wales Trophy. Until then they're a 2-3 round out choke job. Cooper hasn't gotten them past round 3.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

The last piece of the Evander Kane debacle is gone.
