Confirmed Trade: [BOS/NJD] Marcus Johansson (40% retained) for 2019 2nd round pick and 2020 4th round pick

As a Devils fan, id kill to have A GUY LIKE Marchand on my team. Not afraid to go to the dirty areas and be physical and also put up points. He definitely crosses the line, but he fills multiple roles. I would like the Devils to pursue a guy like Wayne Simmonds in the off-season. Not afraid to get physical and can put up points. Would be great on a line with Nico and Hall. Let the two of them get the puck to the net and let Simmonds clean it up.

Old, slow, one of the worst 5v5 point producing forwards in the league.

OPEN UP THE CHECKBOOK RAY

We had a few bruins fans who were pissed about the Johansson acquisition but wanted Simmonds in the same breath.

Out. To. Lunch.

Enough with Donato, this is about Mojo. He has been great, speed, instant chemistry with his linemates. Hope they get him on the PP and get Backes off. Marcus is going help slot everyone in the right spot, making this team even better. Putting him or Heinen on the 2nd or 3rd line when Pasta comes back gives them depth and options.

for the way mojo is able to gain zone entry as often as he can, that alone is good enough reason to have him on the PP.

Aaaaand he’s hurt. Fingers crossed he’s okay before the playoffs but he got lit up by Ferland.

 

[Son of Petter]

He got hurt at practice on deadline day, was pulled from practice, still got moved, now he’s already hurt as a Bruin and it didn’t look good. For his own sake he should probably retire or head back to Sweden to play in a less physical league.

He got a stick to the nads, stayed in practice. Ferland rocked him quite the difference.

Dafuq? How serious is that?

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Dafuq? How serious is that?

Re-evaluated next week, some posters on the Bruins board guessed a 2 week recovery time. Apparently it hurts like hell but its not the worst case scenario long term injury wise.

Dafuq? How serious is that?

Depends but hurts like a bitch

 

[My3Sons]

Ugh speedy recovery MarJo.

 

[Son of Petter]

I was watching Tradecentre that day and they said he had left practice. Didn’t hear anythi g after about if t

Lol he got hit in the jewels an came back 3 minutes later

The initial reactions to this were very mixed, but this looks like it could very well be the best deal for a rental at the deadline this year. Very interesting to see.

 

[AfroThunder396]

See Bruins fans, we told you so.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

That little move yesterday to create an awesome scoring chance makes me take back my criticism of him.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

... told you so.

Johansson is the perfect complement to the Bruins’ style and their goal scorers.

Marcus Johansson was perennially underrated in Washington. He was the best on the team at zone entries and was a huge reason why their PP was so deadly. I was really bummed when he got traded. Glad to see him healthy, playing well, and getting his recognition with the Bs and it'd be cool to see him lift the Cup after being a part of so many heartbreaks in DC.

 

[Cupless44]

He sure had some jump and looked good last night

 

[Dellstrom]

I hope we can re-sign him, he's awesome. A lot of GMs are probably taking notes, though. Hopefully he has a bit more to prove

I'd also like to see him lift the Cup... some other year. Not with the Boo-ins, though. He's a good player for sure - playing real well right now, too.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Glad he’s having some success in Boston. I guess his injuries played a big part in why he never was really able to put it together in New Jersey. That and we sucked.

He's on the 3rd line in Boston, and I would even argue it's line 2 level with
Heinen- Coyle- Johansson.

They get to do their work without the biggest pressure.

 

[justafan22]

How much AAV this offseason?

 

[NDiesel]

I'd love to keep MoJo passed this year but I have my doubts the Bruins would be able to afford him.
