being too lazy to confirm but didn't Tampa put him on LTIR or something just a few weeks ago or I'm thinking someone else? Thanks in advance
Callahan. 1 year more at 5.8m.

As successful as they were last year, teams could shutdown the number 1 line and the 2nd line was on again/off again in terms of offence. The 3rd line was so-so again in terms of offence. The 4th line surprised with their output. Calgary has depth, yes, but still needs to upgrade its RW.Yeah sure, 2nd in the league in goals has a pressing need for offense, gotta get that #1 spot right?

I would do the Johnson for Brodie deal
But don't assume he would automatically solve the flames playoff scoring problem. He couldn't do it in Tampa what make one thinks he can do it in Calgary

Johnson had a pretty miserable playoffs this year, but he does have a pretty strong record of producing in the playoffs.
I really don't think it's fair to score Tampa's playoffs this year. That was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.
TJ to Calgary, in a deal, for TJ with adds (for contract purposes) would be a huge win for Calgary.
I know Tyler's got some connections to Calgary, so... maybe he waives?
Just curious, what kind of connections does he have? He grow up here, family perhaps?
He's also from Spokane I think, so Calgary is one of the closest major cities to his hometown, with a similar climate/population.He won a championship with our head coach in the Dub.
Assuming Johnson would waive his no trade clause it would be an overpayment to get somebody with one year left on their contract before becoming a UFA. It is not as much a worry as it is about common sense.Is Tampa really that worried about players walking on them? 29 is not old for a d-man either. Hedman is 28 (only about 6 months older) and people are saying he's barely reached his prime, and may continue to get better.

The Lightning would be far better off getting the use of Johnson this year and letting the Seattle expansion draft take care of his contract next summer. For the coming season they need him more than any defenseman that your team would give up in tradeI mean, getting out of Johnson's 5 million this year, and having no cap towards 2020 would mean a lot.
It's not like some Vezina goalie or something needs to a new contract next year.

Sergachev prefers the right side--whether the coaching staff ultimately wants him there is another story.Peters seems to love his versatile forwards. Can't Johnson play all three forward positions?
I could see there being something there around Brodie + for Johnson. Tampa's depth on the right side for their blueline is Jan Ruuta, Luke Schenn(yuck), Witkowski(double yuck), and Cernak who I like. Brodie would fit in there well, terrific skater who moves the puck and plays much better on the right side.
Hedman-Brodie or McDonagh-Brodie would be a great pairing.
Really don't know how substantial the + would be though, the Flames aren't really in a position to be trading any blue chips or marquee draft picks.

Huh? His production takes a substantial jump in the playoffs vs. the regular season.I would do the Johnson for Brodie deal
