Boogey signed by the Rangers.

According to TSN's Bob McKenzie Derek Boogaard is now a Rag (Ranger). So who is going to be the Wild's tough guy now that the Derek Boogard has been signed by the New York Rangers? Some will applaud the move and say that Boogey is nothing more than a one dimensional player that adds nothing on the score sheet. I think that is partially true but the skilled Wild players feel when Boogaard is on the bench they know that the Boogey man has their back. Personally I loved watching Boogaard beat the be-jesus out of people…

Darren Dreger reporting Boogard to the NYR is done.

Staubitz will be the tough guy now.
Happy for Boogaard. He’s getting paid a ridiculous amount. I’ll miss him as well, it’s bitter-sweet.

Yeah 1.65 million is a lot of money for an enforcer.

That was my initial reaction.

I just got home from work and found out. I am bummed but I am happy for him. He is making quite a bit more money and has security in where he is going to be.

Good luck Boogey! I will miss ya.
