So bad...

Bogosian is a china doll. Why would we give up a prospect for that and Pominville who is just another bottom 6 winger to add to Raffl, Weal, Weise?

Bogosian could be really good if he can stay healthy. He's signed only for 2 years. Pominville is an upgrade on the 3rd line and could move up if necessary. Raffl is an okay 4th liner. Weal is a fringe AHL/NHL player. Weise is an AHL player. There's no comparison to Pominville there. The cost was Gudas and his costly turnovers and Strome who has talent but skates like he's stuck in mud.

"If he can stay healthy" They guy hasn't played a full season in the NHL in nearly a decade. Pretty obvious he can't stay healthy! Pominville plays RW, Simmonds plays RW only and hates LW. As for Gudas, I guess the regular season means nothing to you since he was perfectly fine when he was paired with someone other than Manning but I have explained this all to you before, you just refuse to listen.

Bogosian is twenty seven with a lot of talent. Buffalo probably wouldn’t even do this deal. Enjoy your ride on the high horse.

Facts are facts...just because you refuse to listen to facts doesn't mean I am on my "high horse"

Your facts are opinion so yes it’s a high horse. Ride along.

Ummm no. It is fact that Bogosian hasn’t played a full year in nearly a decade and it is fact that Simmonds doesn’t like LW.[/quote

The injury history was accounted for in the reduced price to acquire the player. This is a buy low scenario. As for what position a player plays? The coaches can sort that out and do what works to put the right player in the right position for individual and team success. See Giroux, Claude.
