4 years left on that contract. Not too bad, not great.

What I'm waiting for is Guhle and someone else to take the 5-6 spots and do so for cheap. That's when I want to have that top 2 guy and be willing to pay him whatever we have to.

Agreed.

The problem with Bogosian has always been between the ears. He's clearly got the talent and size and a much better offensive touch than he's given credit for. In fact Id say that hes probably better off in a more offensive role than defensive.

This isnt the 20th century, defence isn't measured based on your ability to lay out big hits (and Bogo misses on quite a few). Ill take the player who can take away the passing lane or perform a well timed stick check over the guy who will be out of position constantly but gets 10 seconds on the carruba collision of the game. And the notion that Bogosian played better in the 2nd half is kind of misguided. The only thing that changed is he was given more of an offensive assignment/opportunity against weaker teams (schedule got way easier) and he put up more points as a result. Thats not him getting better, hes played close to 500 games in the nhl at this point he is what he is. That's just Bylsma finally putting him in a position to succeed based on his strengths instead of a position to fail based on some outdated theory that hitting=defence.

Bogosian may be a fine player but a) you can get similar production for far less $ on the cap b) they need a different style of d-man on this team any ways. There's too much of the same kind. Michael brought up the panthers a few days ago questioning the decision to have too many of the analytics darlings. This is fair and I agree but we're basically in the same position. I see 5 guys who all play the same style and share the same weaknesses. You're not moving risto, Kulikov just got here, and mccabe is on a great deal. They don't need Bogosian, especially at 5.14 mil.

Guhle is taking a spot this year or next. Between Martin, Borgen and Florentino I think we can find a cheap #6. Franson and Gorges funds need to go elsewhere other than the bottom pairing.

And after next year they will, which is why I don't worry about the cap yet. Risto gets his deal, guys fall off when we need to give out big contracts, we are set up well imo. Just need that top 2 Defenseman and a quality winger for Jack.

That will probably take up somewhere between 12-15 mil tho, thats why it might be concerning

Pegula needs to clean house from the GM and coach. Like he did with the Sabres.

Am I crazy or did they not show the anthem at all?

Yes, challenging a call for 2 yards in the 1st quarter is a great idea...

I love watching us give the game away

Penalty and missed tackle yes. Great throw and catch on the first play
