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

[Novak Djokovic]

You PRAY that a 2nd rounder turns out to be someone like Marcus Johansson. Great deal for NJ, IMO.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

I wonder that Sakic is thinking, LOL.

 

[NickLidstrom]

Predicting a breakout year for him

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Really nice get for the Devils.

 

[983 others]

Nobody could beat a 2nd and 3rd? I doubt that.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

WTF are the Caps doing? Trading him at that price within the division. Is their GM on crack?

 

[Carlzner]

Not possible; Washington went 7F-3D.

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

They went 7F-3D to protect Johansson.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Why didn't they try to dump Orpik instead?

To dump Orpik,Washington would be adding the 2nd and 3rd at this point in his career.

I really don't see why he wasn't bought out.

Clearing cap

 

[WilliamNylander]

Wow thats cheap

 

[JEI]

Nice pickup by NJ.

 

[Mr Positive]

Get some defense now. I want to see Hall kick some butt

 

[Kurt Cobain]

Can he play right wing?

 

[Warden of the North]

Good for NJ, Washington mini-rebuilding?

They had to shed salary.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Horrible return for Johansson

 

[Russian Factor]

still think that Orpik signing was a good idea or "fine" Caps fans?

 

[CB Joe]

I wonder that Sakic is thinking, LOL.

Another center off the market.

 

[JT Kreider]

Hell of a get for NJ. Awful for WSH. They were so patient with him and now he finally busts out and then you trade him?

For a **** return at that.

Caps will not be winning the PT for the third straight year, that is for damn sure.

 

[ghdi]

Can he play right wing?

Yep, immediately becomes a top 6 RW here.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Very good deal for the Devils. Caps are backed into a corner cap wise.

 

[kevrondl]

How did Montreal not top that offer? Wow.

 

[seafoam]

Johansson had a modifed NTC, could definitely have played into the return.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Clearing cap

Still far from enough to fix that defense and bottom six.

 

[mrv52]

now take the 2nd and 3rd and dump Orpik

 

[SI90]

Wow. Great for the Devils imo.
