IMO there must be "more to the story" when it comes to Johansen. People's opinions on him seem to change very quickly. The way that "top line" and whole team has looked after the 1st 30-35 min of game 1 is VERY concerning. Even as they continued to put up points, they've looked bad and WE LOSE GAMES OVER AND OVER. I'm not gonna get into it with the Wennberg "hype" but we should have NEVER moved Anisimov. Not only have "we waited for a top line center for 10+ years" we also waited for legit center depth throughout the lineup. We HAD that last year. You people still wanna refer to it as the Saad/Dano trade, and claim that "Anisimov was gone after his last contract anyway", but a SKILLED AND VERY GOOD DEFENSIVELY RESPONSIBLE CENTER should have never been moved off this team. He should have been resigned.
NOBODY has even brought up the idea that losing Anisimov might actually be a HUGE factor in this losing streak to start the year. It was brought up by 1 of our Russian's that Arty and Bob's wives were very close. I'm going to GUESS, so were Bob and Arty. Not to mention Anisimov was also probably our best PKer. Also if you've caught any recent CHI games they are using Arty in another 1 of his underappreciated roles that he played here from time to time, VERY WELL. In front of the net on the PP. While we throw Clarkson and Bourque out front on our PP's. You people don't want to admit it BUT THIS IS THE 1 MAIN THING THAT CHANGED FROM LAST YEAR. The idea that Saad (or Johansen) CANT be the problem is crazy to me. Boll, Clarkson, Bourque and Prout are NOT good NHL hockey players. They also are NOT the main reason why we are not only losing, BUT LOOKING LIKE ABSOLUTE **** WHILE LOSING.
Trade the ****in golden boy. He is a ****ing infection. Package him with Saad if you can throw Clarkson in there to clear cap. The idea that there is a connection with Johansen putting up points and the CBJ winning is CLEARLY FALSE.
And you people want MORE Johansen's!?!?
I'm starting to lose it with A LOT of you people. IT SHOULD BE:
THE BLUEJACKETS
NOT
RYAN JOHANSEN and the bluejackets
You better believe there's more to all this Johansen ****. AND THE MAIN PROBLEM!?!?! The reason's these things are probably "kept hidden" is so baby boy doesn't get MORE DISGRUNTLED. EVEN MORE reason to trade his ***** ass.
Why didn't we keep and build around Zherdev?? And why was he treated the way he was by most of you? A more skilled player than Johansen. Hell Anisimov is more skilled AND better defensively AND plays a more important position than Saad.
