"that chick from Ohio"
I sincerely beg to differ with your characterization of JJ's play this year.You're making too much of who is on what pair Viqsi.
Murray has been better than Johnson this season. The only reason why he's on the 3rd is because he got injured and the Jackets have been winning. That's why Torts hasn't moved Johnson down to the 3rd and Murray back up.
As far as this team's defense goes this year as well as going forward, it's Jones > Werenski > Murray > Savard > Johnson > Nutivaara.
Johnson's play this season has been OK. Not great.
With regard to the plan going forward, I agree. But so far JJ has a legit claim to the position he's in.
