At best JJ gets claimed by Vegas if he keeps it up.

holy caveat emptor if i ever saw one

Josefson has been productive for like 6 games, so I'm not buying that he's turning a corner.

Exactly. 6 games out of 26 this season and 264 career. His 6 points in 26 games on the season are still only on pace for 19 points over 82 games. That's one point lower than the clip he produced at last season and approximately 2 points per 82 more than he's produced over his entire career average. He's just doing it at even strength, while he has just 1 PP point. I always said he'd be better at even strength, but would not replicate his PP production from last year. In the end, it still comes out to a 16-20 point per 82 games player. And since his on-ice shooting percentage last year of 2.0% was often cited as bad luck, he's got an on-ice shooting percentage of 8.8% this year, which is a career best.

JJ is 4th line at best long term.

Agreed.

I'd still rather they take someone like Moore or Lovejoy off our hands at the expansion draft though.
