Bogosian adding wing eligibility slightly helps his fantasy hockey value. Last season, the enigmatic defender scored only five goals and 17 points for the Atlanta Thrashers. If coach Claude Noel continues to put him in high-leverage offensive situations, Bogosian could approach 10 goals again.
The young puck-mover should be ready for the regular season. Last season, Spurgeon scored four goals and 12 points through 53 games including six on the PP. Expect his playing time to increase in his sophomore season.
Just a precautionary measure as the Wild want their young, puck-moving d-man healthy. Last season, Spurgeon scored four goals and 12 points through 53 games including six on the PP. Expect his playing time to increase in his sophomore season.

In 53 games, Spurgeon posted six power play points. With Brent Burns now in San Jose, the 21-year-old should see even more offensive minutes from the blue line.
Bogosian will look to improve on his worst professional season where he scored 5 goals and 17 points in 71 games. While the former third overall pick displayed mounds of talent in Juniors, his production has been sporadic over his three NHL seasons. A change of scenery, system and coach could help him improve this season but be cautious before paying for his potential.
Not exactly words you want to hear from a budding defensive star. Sounds like Bogosian lost a bit of confidence over his first three seasons and could be hurt even further by moving to a hockey market with actual pressure. Monitor this situation closely as Bogosian has high-end potential which could be filled in the right situation.
