I wouldn't move it for a pure rental, but for a good young player, yes. I'm no prospect expert, but I don't get the sense that there's a whole lot of excitement building for the players projected to go in the top 10-60 spots of the draft.

Oh if there's a Turris-esque opportunity out there ... sure.

I really doubt it, can't really think of anything, can't see Jets would trade Bogosian.

Turris was a special case that we pounced on. He forced Phoenix to trade him, they wouldn't have otherwise, that doesn't happen often.

But for a pending UFA ... don't give up a lot just because there's a bidding war going on (lots of buyers, few sellers). We'll be doing a better job rebuilding the Hurricanes than the Sens.

I truly think Bogo's that option. I recall when he didn't want to sign his RFA with Atlanta, but did in the end. He's a massive Sens fan too - all the requisites to be someone that might be available at the right price and that we should present Winnipeg with that right price (IMO).

First thing I googled:


Local Flavor: Zach Bogosian is from Massena, New York, only an hour from Ottawa and was a Sens fan growing up

It's not a secret that he's a Sens fan lol

Ha. I'm still waiting to hear how you're able to un-diagnose concussions.

Bogosian is from the US-Canada border town of Massena, New York, which is just over an hour away from Ottawa (apparently his favorite NHL team growing up). Bogosian has been traveling to Ottawa once a week this summer to train. While in in Ottawa, Bogosian had this to say (Aug 9/11):

You'll have to ask Bogosian himself, sorry

He certainly has the potential. Whether he'll realize that potential in the NHL is another story.

I'm all for winning but don't give up a good prospect for a pending UFA, much less a 1st.

If there's another Turris-esque opportunity out there -- i.e., a good young player with high potential but not in the best of circumstances -- then I certainly would consider moving our 1st. For example: Bogosian for our 1st+? Done.

I tend to agree -- but my larger point is that we shouldn't consider that 1st rounder as somehow untouchable. If there is any mid- to long-term upgrade to be had, then we need to be open to the possibility of moving it.
