Thread: Cogliano Traded to Ducks

His former coach Bob Boughner says Hall is naturally a center …

“Taylor is a centre naturally, he’s playing left wing on our team but he’ll take some draws once in a while and he’s good on draws,” said Boughner. “I don’t doubt that if he goes to the next level and they need a centre, he could play centre as well. He’s pretty strong on the puck. “The reason I put him on the wing is to conserve his energy and expose other teams wide because he has that speed.”

Because they would have jut bought him out? As stated before he's a poor mans Richardson, so where the hell do you out him, Ontario?!?

Richardson =/= Cogliano



Richardson Balls >>>>>>>> Cogliano balls

Cogliano just signed with Anaheim for three-years @ $2.39M per.

again, that's PER SEASON!

At first, trading Smyth was to take back the least amount of money possibe to make a big pitch towards BR. I can't believe the Ducks paid that much for Cogs...

Ouch! They must be hoping that they can get more from him than Edmonton did. If they don't, that's a terrible deal. If he finally puts it together, not so much.

I actually think Cogliano will thrive with the Ducks but the price tag they paid for him before he even put on a Ducks jersey is laughable and overpayment.


But hey **** em !.....
