There will probably be some gaffes... but the single most underrated part of Johnson's game is his defense. He is a master with his stick and positioning. If he can be good enough on his skates to keep from being overpowered, he can shore up the defensive side quite nicely. Then you have Gaudreau who can transition the puck as well as anybody and both him and Johnson are great at keeping possession. Where Laine is just lurking and waiting to unleash his cannon. Could be the surprise line of the season. Could easily see them all above PPG if it works.
I wish you would get excited about the Avs' players as much as you get excited about other teams' players. :sarcasm:;):naughty:

I've got a real soft spot for Columbus as an Org. It'd be really great for their fanbase to have a line like that to cheer for. That cannon's going to get USED!
 
Reports on TImmins are positive. He always seemed like a good player to me with a lethal shot and sound positioning.

Plus, as an Avs fan, you get the bonus of seeing a lot of their players in our lineup a few years later. Could Johnson be a long-term solution at 2C? Hmmm...
