I need help on this one, good or bad?

Really depends on how he gets used. If it's like Ceci that's probably not good. If he's strictly bottom pair rotating in and out of the line-up and killing penalties it's fine. He certainly looked decent with Tampa.
 
I mean, the guy just played a legit role on a cup winner and that isn't any more than he'll be asked of here. I don't think that makes it a no brainer but as a bottom pairing guy with only 250k above the minimum I think it's good way to address needs. 
 
I think

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl

And then Lehtonen/Bogosian as a penciled in 3rd pairing with room for Sandin or Liljegren to make the jump is actually a pretty solid defense.

Yeah that's basically what I see. I also doubt Bogosian plays every single game so that 3rd pairing will see some rotation throughout the season.

Exactly. And it's solid depth in the #7 spot if Dermott sticks around or one of the young players makes a case for the job in camp.

I tell you, it sure makes you wish the Leafs had a young second round or so high scoring CHL centre who you could think of for the 3rd line because this team is shaping up sort of nice.
 
Man Bogosian's only 30 years old? I pegged him to be closer to 35. Playing for crap teams your whole career really does a number.
 
I hope his Leafs internal metrics are awesome.
I hope he?s just being used as an occasional b-hole against the Habs and other chippy affairs.
