News: Bogosian and the Jets have begun "very preliminary" discussions regarding a new contract, Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press reports. [+]

Bogosian missed the start of the 2012-13 season following wrist surgery, and his campaign was cut short by a concussion, but he managed to put up 14 points (5G, 9A) while averaging more than 23 minutes of ice time in 33 games for Winnipeg.
