I shot the idea out there in the Petrangelo thread and Blues fans didn't hate it. I thought I'd make it it's own thread to expand upon it.
Johnson is 33 and Makes 3.25x3 years. When he is on the ice, his team is worse. I'm not an advanced stats guy but his CF%, FF%, and xGF% are all in the 45-47% range. Not ideal.
Justin Faulk is 28 and is signed to an eye-watering 6.5 million, seven year contract. He is a useful defensemen still but not remotely worth that much money. He doesn't provide much more offense than JJ (5 more points in the abbreviated season). His advanced stats aren't horrible; His
CF%, FF%, and xGF% are all 50%, so he basically is neutral in this regard. But that contract is an albatross and is hampering a Pietrangelo extension.
So, Faulk for Johnson straight-up. Penguins get the better player, Blues get the better contract and they have 3.25 more cap space to go for Pietrangelo.
