Milan Michalek to columbus for jack johnson straight up? maybe? thoughts?
JJ has a lot more value than Michalek.
That.
On a good team Phillips has a role. On a team like ours he sticks out.
The sooner the fans of this team realize that Spezza is no longer our #1C, the easier it will be to let him go. I know he has been with the club a long time, but a fact is a fact. Turris is our #1, and Spezza is now replaceable. We need to cash him out for players who will help this team in other areas.
Turris, Zibby, Smith is a fine 1-2-3 down the center. Let Spezza fetch us a top 6 winger, and a top 4 Dman to make this a competitive team.
We don't need Jack Johnson or anyone else for that matter. We need an established top 3-4 defender not someone who is a mystery defensively.
Also, Lol @ Spezza to Montreal. Galchenyuk is their future 1C followed by Plek and Eller. They have no need for Spezza.
If Spezza is dealt, look for 2nd line C/Great top 6 winger and top 3 defender coming back. Anything else and we don't need it.
Johnson has been less effective then michalek in thereindividual roles and columbus could use the offencive bump that michalek could bring........ trade makes sence to me.
Really cause he playin like horse ****.......
......... We wont get that much for him.......
Isnt Michalek basically like Gaborik with Gaborik being better, both plays speed game, Gaborik with better shot but both are injury prone
So was Methot before he was traded to the Sens. I think Johnson being the #1 in Columbus hurts him, alot more effective as our #3
Spezza is a PPG center.
The only reason I see Ottawa trading him in the first place is cause if he doesn't fit the make-up of the team.
He is definitely worth Shattenkirk+Berglund/Schwartz and even +.
Gorges and Gallagher is better than that package, especially if it's Berglund.
You said top 3 D and top 6 winger. Gorges is a #3 and Gallagher is top 6. There you go.
Bergevin is looking to make a big splash for a top player.
I agree and that can be said for many players when things go south. Hard to figure out what you have

He has twice as worse +/- as the second worse defender.
Thats absolutely atrocious. Gorges is a bottom end #3 (if that) and Gallagher a tweener. Its hilarious that Spezza is even being mentioned in a sentence with those two. You think Montreal would trade us Galchenyuk in 10 years for Methot and Puempel?
Michalek + Conacher for Booth + Kassian
Gallagher is no where near a tweener and Gorgeous is a great complementary number 4 who could do very well alongside a Karlsson.
However, that package is not enough for Spezza. Switch Eller for Gallagher and add a first.
