Confirmed Trade: [WSH/NJ] Marcus Johansson to NJ for 2018 2nd, 3rd

[PG Canuck]

Damn. New Jersey did VERY well.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

They didn't even trade either of their own picks, either

even better

 

[Face Of Bear]

The cost of Kuznetzov

 

[PensPlz]

Caps were forced to dump a contract. New Jersey profits.

 

[ghdi]

The two picks were the ones acquired from when we took the Savard contract and the compensation for Lamoriello in Toronto.

Not bad, Ray. Not bad at all.

 

[Hivemind]

If Washington was going to move Johansson, they should have done it before the expansion draft and protected Schmidt. This is just awful asset management.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I have to think this means Henrique is traded for defense.

Wouldn't Johansson be replacing Cammalleri? He's a winger.

 

[yvrtojfk]

Great move by the Devils.

 

[shaner8989]

Absolute joke of a trade

Steal for nj

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Bam sign Kuznetsov then trade Johansson.

Cap hell is doing a number on the Capitals.

Lost
Johansson
Shattenkirk
Alzner
Schmidt

 

[BB88]

No Cup for Ovy.

What a bad looking trade followed by an expensive signing/signings.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

No one was willing to top a 2nd and a 3rd?

 

[The Price is Right]

Wow where is Bergevin... We could pf used him on the Habs

 

[AfroThunder396]

Caps fans, can Johansson play RW? I know he's listed as a center but I seem to remember him playing wing at times.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Cap space, one of the most sought after assets in the league apparently.

 

[Flyers Time]

Schenn got two firsts and a bottom 6 player

 

[ghdi]

Johanssen either waived to come here or we were not on the no trade list.

 

[Leafs87]

That's a horrible deal for caps

 

[PriceIsGod]

Wow where is Bergevin... We could pf used him on the Habs

We payed more for Shaw

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Caps still have holes in bottom six, defense and back-up goaltending so far. Carlson needs a new contract next year too.

 

[Soundgarden]

Good for NJ, Washington mini-rebuilding?

 

[Viqsi]

If Washington was going to move Johansson, they should have done it before the expansion draft and protected Schmidt. This is just awful asset management.

Not possible; Washington went 7F-3D.

Was really hoping some OUT-OF-DIVISION team could profit from Washington's newfound cap woes. Harrumph.

 

[canadianguy77]

Why didn't they try to dump Orpik instead?

 

[Joel Ward]

Absolutely awful return. The Kuzya contract was rough, but a pill I could swallow. This is a horrendous trade.

 

[Russian Factor]

Shero isn't perfect but he wins trades quite a lot
