So what do you guys think of this?

Could we find a team who would take Johnson if we offer Chucky, and then turn around and use Kessel's money to sign Pavelski or Lee? If we could pull that of, we'd get a better player than Alex, and save the $3.25M we're paying Johnson.

Don't see any other way to get rid of Johnson without trading a 1st rounder. Of course, we would have to feel confident that we could sign a guy like Lee, Pavelski, or otherwise bring in someone equivalent.

I'd rather keep Johnson than sink a significant asset to get rid of him, and Galchenyuk counts as a "significant asset" to me. I definitely want to see what Chucky can do with actual talent, he has a legit upside of being a 30 goal scorer here.
