Confirmed with Link: Tyler Johnson for Brent Seabrook

[No Fun Shogun]

Did someone piss in a few of your guys' Cheerios or something this morning? Play nice when you disagree.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Then you should give up on watching hockey. Or at least trying to evaluate players.

I like Hockey too much to give it up.

I guess I'll quit trying to evaluate players then.

Please do, for the better good of the world.

Im not sure all of these are BETTER than Jones. Probably at least half.

When you get to value per cap dollar, its not a bad list.

Fowler, Burns and Doughty are the ones I cant really get behind. Fowler has never really been as good (ie: impactful) as advertised. Doughty’s had as many rough seasons as Jones and is older and more expensive. Burns is way too old for his current money and term.

Yeah and we'll know he's gonna be motivated now too.

About the best case scenario for a Seabs unloading imo.

Kubalik in no universe deserve 6.5 million lol

I can see a loopy GM paying it, but yikes, it would be a big overpayment.

Kubalik is Laine light without the name recognition. Laine just signed is QO at 7.5 so no way does Kubalik get a long term at just a million less.

 

[Space umpire]

You just made the point.
There are maybe 15 guys on your list I would trade Jones for straight up.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I'm done with the insults. Play nice or get put in timeout.

 

[Cullksinikers]

Zach f***ing Hyman had an eight year deal at over 5 agreed upon with the Oilers. Somebody will give Danault right around 7x7. Top six centers, top four defenseman, and top six wingers with size or jam get paid through the nose and then some every single summer.

If Danault signs for 5x5, absolutely the better way to go. I'll gladly put a hundo on both numbers being above that if you're willing.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Both numbers were above five, but that's not as awful as I was expecting.

 

[clydesdale line]

Wow that's a great deal for LA considering what Danault was rumored on getting.

 

[pvr]

If TB 3peats its because they have the best goalie , best forward and best dman in NHL on team

No other team has that

And they’ve benefited from short schedules with lessened travel and no offseason Olympics to increase the grind and wear them down. The threepeat is much easier in this scenario.

I find the fact that you took 5-10 minutes to compile a list that you almost certainly knew you'd get ridiculed for a bit concerning...

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Am I the only one thinks Suter is better than Johnson at this stage?
I don't get what Bowman was doing here. The late 2nd can't be that valuable that you'd pay $5M for Johnson vs $3.25M for a younger/better Suter at the same position.

I hope Johnson proves me wrong of course.

I believe Johnson is better more versatile, but you are ignoring the Seabs contract we unloaded.

This isn't just $5 mil vs $3.25 mil - we just unloaded LTIR cap that we don't need to deal with anymore and got a 2nd rounder out of it...

Suter is not better than Johnson. At anything. It makes all the sense in the world. Hawks upgraded at center for a $1.8M difference in cap space, got rid of the Seabrook LTIR contract, and got a 2nd rounder out of it. Johnson produced at a very similar clip to Suter, playing 4th line minutes with 4th liners... There's no negative to these moves at all.

Stanley Cup Pedigree.....this is priceless

I’m neither here nor there on this trade. Cool that we traded away Seabs contract and got something for it. But I haven’t kept up with Johnson at all and not sure how he fits in. Pretty big cap hit for someone who is hopefully a middle 6 player.

What happened to this guy’s career? Last I remember, he was a promising young player. Clearly I’ve been out of the loop.

Stevie Y = smart

Getting Johnson who can pkay both C and W is giid versatile use move..

It covers deoth issue if Toews fails in comeback or if a top six winger getscinjured...he can move upto 2 top line role.

Johnson was inder-used in TB given alk the depth that forwards theyvhadvpastv2 seasons...


This way Reichel can start in Rocfordxandctakextinecto adjystvto NA smaller rink and tougher competition here.

IF REICHEL proves he bekingsci rgecshiw now then it gives JC options about who is 3C o 4C or if they want to go to ac4 line equal 5x5 roratation...

I think thec4th kine may be a lit morevoroductivevtgan we saw with the likes of Kampf and Carpenter etc..

I would buy our Carpenter but Stan said no buyouts ..so he coukd be stapledvto the bench 13th F.

So the fun starts on re-jiggingcalk the line combos...

Have at it.

You left out that he could captain your 2nd PP unit. He's damned good in the middle or on the wing.
