Really looking forward to a Marleau / Kadri / Kapanen third line if Babcock keeps Johnsson up with Matthews and Nylander a couple weeks from now. I think both Kapanen and Kadri are going to work exceptionally hard to create offense and old man Marleau still knows where to go in order to finish. I could see Patty up around 22 goals in a healthy 82 games, getting 2nd pp minutes playing with Kadri and Kapanen consistently for 40+ games.
I'd love Johnsson to emerge with the top line and be a really viable trade piece, along with a contract Toronto needs to dump in Zaitsev, in a deal for a top pairing RHD (even if it requires more pieces and picks).
If somehow Dubas were able to get rid of Zaitsev's contract, move Marleau in the off season, dump Hainsey and add a top RHD, at the cost of Johnsson or Kapanen, I'd do it in a heartbeat, as sad as I would be to see either go... A dream defensive scenario for me heading into next year would be...
Reilly / RHD
Gardiner / Dermott
Rosen / OZ
