Good trade for you guys.
Funny story, everyone in the organization thought his last name was Johnson till a couple years ago till he finally humbly mentioned his proper name.

It's one thing to refer to him as Mango but to actually celebrate it on Twitter is......yeah.

Watch his goal highlights from the last 2 years. Looks like a natural goalscorer despite not gaudy totals. Good shot but even better nose for the net. Played with skilled players like Matthews , Nylander , Marner etc... but looks like he belongs.

Gotta admit, the way they gave him devil mango horns is kinda hilarious.

Hmmm....yeah I guess you can say that part was a bit amusing.
Still a bit cringe but whatever.
I'll embrace the mango so long as he stays healthy and contributes.

Hyman's played with Matthews a lot over the last few years (probably 90 % of the time).
His job is to get in first on the forecheck, win puck battles, and get a cycle going. He works hard and also gets back on D. He isn't overly physical, but he will finish checks when he has the opportunity.
He's not all that skilled, but if he has an open net he can hit it. He works well with two skill guys (generally has been paired with Matthews & Nylander) because he knows his job and is capable enough not to ruin the flow of the offense. He has two 20 goal seasons, but he really doesn't have 20 goal skill.
He's also a strong PKer.
Leaf fans like me are hoping Anderson can play a similar role for us down the road.
I like Johnsson and wish we could have kept him, but this was a cap trade, and I like that we got a young player who can be a cheap contributor for several years.
It's a win-win trade imo, and considering the haul we got for Kapanen (1st + Hallander, a recent 2nd rounder), you guys got solid value. IMO, Johnsson is a better player than Kapanen.

Anderson will be a solid and responsible player for you if a bit “boring”. A bottom six full of guys like him would really help TOR. They have enough skill but they need solid defense and some capable physical players down lower in the lineup. Agree this should be a win win. Hopefully TOR doesn’t just put him in the minors and he gets an opportunity to play. He may be blocked by Simmonds and Vesey. I’d play Anderson over both of those guys having watched all three a fair amount over the past couple of years - but that’s just my observation. Others may see it differently.
Just so you guys know I have Johnsson Pegged to score the 1st goal for the Kraken so it would be best to not get overly attached to him.
J/k of course but is there a chance he is exposed in the expansion draft?

When do you have him pegged to score a goal this year? Will his next goal be with the Kraken?

Are we 100% sure Toronto actually sent Johnsson to New Jersey? I haven't even noticed him on the ice yet.

they probably dont even have enough forwards to protect as it is so I would say no

yeah i can see why he might have benefitted from playing with a bunch of world class superstars but he doesn’t seem to bring anything notable on his own here

Too lazy to change username
Seems like a classic guy whose numbers are from his linemates. When you put him with lesser players, it all falls apart. For further examples of this type of player, see also: the 2014/15 Devils

No quick fixes, no cutting corners and no cheating
The only hope is that he is still slowed down from the knee injury. I am grasping for something
