  1. So, out goes Addison the smaller / more offensive defenseman – in comes a bigger more physical defender.

    … where does that leave the roster once Spurgeon comes back? (Is there another defenseman on the way out?)

  2. Looking at his stats they’re low, but that doesnt really tell much of a story for a defenseman. Might need to consult some Bolts fans on what to expect

  3. He’s definitely that big, heavy type of defensemen which that this team hasn’t really had in recent years. I was hoping they were going to sign him heading into the 21 season but he signed for Tampa instead. He’s not going to add much offensively, but you don’t play nearly 800 games in the NHL from being unreliable so hopefully he can bring a bit of stability to the third pair.

    Edit: He’s also been a regular in Da Beauty League in Edina over the summers so seems like he was already living in MN at least part time.

  4. Remember him from his BUF days as just a big physical net clearing type of defender. Don’t know how much he has left, but seems like a good calming type player for the 3rd pair similar to what Maroon has brought for the forward depth.

  5. A decade older than Addison, does nothing offensively or defensively, and takes a lot of penalties. Truly a couple of stinker trades by BG today.

  6. Russo reporting Spurgeon will be back, and going forward, things will probably be.

    ​

    Brodin-Faber (Yes please)

    Middleton-Spurgeon (double yes please)

    Mermis-Bogosian (hey, the big guy we haven’t had since Soucy)

    ​

    Merrill (keep him there)

    ​

    If the defense actually plays…DEFENSE, it’ll be worth the hassle.

  7. Remember when people were saying we needed more size on Defense during the playoffs? Well, here it is.

  8. I like it. They need more physically on the back end in addition to Middleton. Bogo has some sneaky offensive skill too. Goose and Merrill will both look better in their own zone with Bogo as their partner.

  9. So BG turned

    Addison –> Bogosian

    2025 7th rd pick –> 2026 5th rd pick

    Added Adam Raska as basically a toss in, in the Addison trade.

    GMBG not sitting around that’s for sure.

  10. Billy changed who sits in the press box for a huge chunk of the season and did right by Addison by giving him a chance to find a daily roster spot somewhere else. Got a little bit more grit in case we need it every once in a while.

  11. We said the exact same shit about Maroon, and look at how much crow had to be eaten already. The team makes the player, not the other way around.

  12. My mom always said that if I don’t have anything nice to say about someone, I should just stay quiet.

    I’ll stay quiet.
