For some reason, rumours have been surfacing on the internet (shocking, I know) that the Jets are listening to offers for Zach Bogosian. First off, it must be stated that every GM in the NHL will almost assuredly listen to any offer for any player. I mean if Ray Shero was offered Steven Stamkos, Victor Hedman and two first rounders he would listen on Sidney Crosby. Listening, however, does not mean shopping. Those are two very distinct things, which get clouded through word of mouth. The premise of this article is why would the Winnipeg Jets shop Zach Bogosian? The Jets may lack offensive superstars, but is trading a defensive stud who has just completed his three-year entry-level contract the answer? Sure Bogosian has a lot of developing to do, but make no mistake; much of his development has already taken place in Atlanta. There is a reason he has seen an increase in his usage against the other team’s top players over the past three seasons? Would trading Bogosian make the team’s strength a weakness? More on this after the jump. illegalcurve.com/2011/07/27/why-keeping-zach-bogosian-is-the-most-logical-option/After reading the article, what do you guys think?

Good analysis. About the only reasons I can see for trading his rights would be;
a) the return package contains a 'no-brainer' amount of talent that doesn't leave a big hole in the line-up, or; b) Bogosian makes it crystal clear that he will not, under any circumstances, sign with the team at a "reasonable" salary/term.

It's a gamble either way. Jets gamble on his "potential" and keep him with the thought he will meet lofty expectations. Jets gamble and trade him for other talent they think will help the team, whatever that may be.
I'm not sure on this one.
Anyone think the trade rumours stem from difficulties trying to get a new contract done?

I always thought they should keep him. Unless a team offers something ridiculous in return, like a Stamkos, or something like that.... which would never happen. Therefore, keep him. He has a longgg career ahead of him.

Goals for Goons? Good trade and "Goals" came back later anyway.

Hawerchuk, first rounder, and future considerations for Housley, Parker, Arniel, and a first rounder that turned out to be Tkachuk. Good ROI IMHO. m.
