Andreas Johnsson Thread

[Judas Tavares]

Didn't want to start a new thread, but my search for recent threads to bump uncovered silly threads or ones tying him to other players.

So alas here is a Johnsson thread. I like what he has brought of late. 5 goals and 5 assists in his last 7 games. Love the speed and has a nice set of hands.

best LW on the team, easily

 

[Raging Bull]

Mango has been unreal, putting up those stats with the icetime he gets. Also not afraid to take a hit or get chippy in front of the net.

 

[justafan22]

Better than brown

who should be dealt

 

[Duffman955]

Playing well recently

 

[Leafs at Knight]

People posting hot takes about Kapanen and then Johnsson. Some people will never learn that a small sample size of games playing on the 4th line is basically meaningless.

One of my favourites, and he's been for a few years now.

 

[Mr Hockey]

last 10 games, all strengths

1. 14 pts ~ Marner

Stud.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Johnsson Matthews Kapanen
Hyman Tavares Marner
Marleau Kadri Nylander

Flip Kapanen and Nylander as needed.

 

[LeafingTheWay]

I would run:

Marleau - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Johnsson - Kadri - Kapanen

Keep Nylander with Matthews, that duo is insane once it gets back to regular form.
Keep Johnsson/Kapanen duo with Kadri to form an insane 3rd line, like some of us projected at the start of the season.

Do I want Marleau in our top-9? Nope. But oh well.

d0 s0mething tired of hearing players getting 12 million or 1 million or 7 mill and only being marginally better some nights than entry level dudes

 

[1specter]

It was funny seeing people write this guy off. He just needed a better opportunity with the right players, he's a skilled guy.

 

[deletethis]

He has been playing brave as well.

I don't think I read that anywhere.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I don't think I read that anywhere.

There was one poster in particular that I remember had totally written him off after the first 5 games of the year lol.

 

[shaner8989]

Wicked player. Huge fan

Kadri brings out the best in Marleau, who doesn't work well at all with Matthews. I'd have Johnsson on that top line.

 

[Nineteen67]

He’s a really good player. Won’t he be one of the casualties of the cap?

 

[justafan22]

Brown will be

 

[Nineteen67]

Brown will be

Brown, Johnson and Kapenan will all be moved or sign elsewhere

 

[justafan22]

Brown, Johnson and Kapenan will all be moved or sign elsewhere

Johnsson won't. He doesn't have the production and the leafs can take him to arb.

 

[Nineteen67]

Johnsson won't. He doesn't have the production and the leafs can take him to arb.

Yes. So they could get him cheap for another year

 

[WTFMAN99]

Credit for him coming out of that early season slump.

I wouldn't mind seeing him and Kapanen with Matthews for another game...if it works...we win games....and we can see we're out chancing the other team, then maybe just roll with it?

If Hyman-Tavares-Marner is staying...

I think we end up coming back to...is Nylander expendable? Not a bad player etc. Yes he's damn rusty, like he's going to need 10-15 games to look right.

That being said, if we have a functional top 6 and Marleau-Kadri can hold down a solid 3rd line....Nylander is a damned expensive luxury. I don't think anyone can deny our defense needs an upgrade. That being said, Dubas promised Nylander he isn't going to move him so, unlikely we see a move.

They play opposite wings...

 

[RoadWarrior]

Johnsson might still be a ROY candidate.

He was rusty early on but has really shown chemistry with better players of late. The perfect complimentary player for a skilled centerman like Matthews.

He’s got the speed and hands to keep up. Great late round gem.

Thank you Thommie Bergman.
