We got our wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Indianation65]

In a word...wow!

 

[Ub the Bub]

Holy ****! What?! Yikes... Well that's something alright... And that certainly solve our roster problems, even got another spot for a prospect to compete for at camp... But damn... Both Daley and Garbutt out and we're getting Sharp back... I mean, I was never convinced neither of those guys were unsalvageable, I was ok with the idea of another season of Garbutt and Daley. But this is just... Delicious... Sure, Sharp is not a player for the future, but we didn't give up any prospects either so it's not like it matters... Jim Nill, you are a magician!

HFBlackhawks had Stephen Johns as their #4 prospect last summer.

So he's not chopped liver.

 

[masinaLFC]

Johns will be the most valuable piece in this trade in 2-3 years unbelievable trade by Nill again.. Chicago fans were pretty high on Johns

Love this move for you guys. If you can sign one of Franson/Ehrhoff/Oduya it would be a pretty good offseason

 

[Troy McClure]

This is a great trade.

 

[LowSodium]

Yessss total steal. How does GMJN convince other teams that our scrubs are somehow elite talent?

Johns is also a top D prospect in Chicago's system.

NBC Chicago - Top 10 Blackhawks Prospects #7 Stephen Johns

With Johnny Oduya potentially landing on the trading block at the draft, Johns could be considered as a replacement. He would give the Blackhawks a physical element on the back-end that they’re currently only getting from Brent Seabrook, and his ability to handle the puck under duress and find open teammates would definitely be a plus in the Hawks’ free-flowing offense.
The only real questions that can be asked about his skillset concern his discipline. His penalty minutes are consistently high, and while that isn’t always a deal-breaker at the junior and collegiate levels, it’s still something that he would have to work on in the NHL. He’ll also have to grow more adept at his stick checking and staying in his lane, as he occasionally will go for a big hit over making the responsible defensive play.

Is Johns waiver exempt?

 

[Satan]

Yep!

 

[jhr1986]

I love loving it

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Just be nice to Sharp. HE'S A BEAUTIFUL MAN!

That'd be the guy in that list I'd want in order to solidify the defensive d-man role in addition to Nemeth and enable Goligoski to return to his natural puck-moving game. The other two are not what this team needs and will likely ask for major money and term that this team couldn't afford in 2-3 years when Benn and Seguin will be up for extension.

Johns will end up the player in this trade the Stars will remember. He will be a stud.

 

[LT]

Goligoski - Klingberg
Nemeth - Demers
Jokipakka - Oleksiak
Jo. Benn

Honka, Lindell, and Johns as our top three in CP, with any of them ready to be called up.

I suspect Johns is a Demers replacement for a couple years from now. Right-handed, good size, physical, projects to be a #3-5... sounds just like Demers.

 

[Rune Forumwalker]

So how good is Sharp defensively: is there any chance of seeing him on the 3rd, and Eakin on Spezza's wing?
