Value of: Marcus Johannson

[CapitalsCupReality]

It might be time for Washington to part ways with Mojo finally. He's heading into arbitration again and might be looking at a $4.5 mil award. Caps don't want to lose him for nothing.

He's 26 at the start of next season, scored 44,47,46 pts the last 3 seasons...20 and 17 goals the last two years. Can play PP1 and PK, but isn't a good faceoff guy. Great wheels and hands.

I'd like a similar middle-6 player coming back, maybe even another pending RFA.


Offers?


Helps if I could spell his name lol.....I blame Apple!

I could see Montreal maybe wanting him. Or even Columbus if Washington is willing to take back a contract.

You can take Helm for me!

A middle 6 contract at 4 or less would be ideal.

Fancy a Bozak?

How about:

Spooner + DeBrusk + 2017 EDM 2nd for Johansson + Bowey?

We filled the 3C hole with Eller. Pass.

Meh. Seems like Washington is giving up the two best assets. I'll take quality over quantity here. I'd be more interested if you took out Bowey and DeBrusk.

Nice avatar btw . I totally forgot Washington got Eller which is why I proposed offering Spooner to fill the #3C hole you guys had. I wanted to add to Spooner to get Bowey since the Bruins have a hole on D. If Bowey and DeBrusk are out of the equation, I don't think the Bruins trade Spooner and a 2nd for Johansson. Spooner and Johansson are very similar production-wise, and the Bruins need Spooner's speed, PP ability, and the depth he provides at center. Hopefully everything works out for you guys regarding Johansson.

This seems to be a common idea, but surely Toronto would expect the pot sweetened, but to what extent?

Funny considering Mojo provides those as well...

Hartnell + picks. Not enough tho.

What would Toronto want for JVR? As a Van fan I wouldn't mind him on our 2nd line.

We don't have a reason to move JVR for anything other than a young top 4 defenseman with upside or a high enough pick to draft said defensemen.

Also, I'm not sure why we would move him for mojo... they're the same age and JVR is more proven and plays at a bigger position of need.

Johansson has primarily played LW for quite a while now, with a couple spurts at RW before and after Oates' tenure. He had a stint at 3C this past year, but he's essentially a winger at this point.

One reason Johansson might be appealing to Toronto is that they have an opportunity to extend him long term right now, where-as JVR can walk in two years (and will require a significant raise to keep). While a long-term extension for Johansson will be more expensive than JVR's current contract, it would likely be cheaper than his next one.

Regardless, Washington would have to add to Johansson to land JVR. The question is what would Toronto be interested in? I think I could support Johansson + Samsonov for JVR. Could that be a passable deal from the Leafs' perspective?

Overpayment from the Caps.

That's terrible for WSH. I don't understand why some caps fans are hot to move perhaps the top goalie prospect right now. Swapping mojo for JVR at the expense of of Samsonov isn't the move that wins you a cup. It only hampers you 5 years down the line if you want/need to move on from Holtby.

This is George McPhee-esque.

 

[Suds]

Time to move on.

The Caps will sorely miss his PP skills. The PP is better with Marcus - no question about it.


But it's time to move on... Trotz-hockey doesn't fit Marcus and vice versa.

Five years down the line should not be a main concern for the Caps. If it significantly enhances their short-term odds they need to go for it. One or maybe two years down the line? Fine but it's neither a sure thing that Holtby will need to be moved on from at 31 nor that Samsonov is necessarily the answer. He has fine pedigree but they'd have a lot of drafts to come up with another option beyond Grubauer, Vanecek and whatever they find among college free agents.

As much as I want the caps to 'go all in', I don't think, on the average, trading away blue chip talent in a situation the caps are in necessarily is the difference maker in hoisting the cup.

More to this point, my opinion is JVR is not some majestic missing piece that makes everything click for WSH. Good player and if we are actually moving Mojo he'd be a good option, but not if it costs us Samsonov or Bowey.

Maybe I'm just too cautious when it comes to high level prospect talent? But I don't want auction off future talent for a 1 or 2 year slight upgrade.

Ennis for Johansson ?
