Confirmed with Link: Devils acquire Marcus Johansson from WSH

[Blender]

It's from Planet Of The Apes

I actually probably misused it since in the movie he's reacting to everyone they know being dead due to the amount of time that has passed.

 

[SETHROLLINS]

With these two picks gone we have the standard seven picks per draft for the next few years. Hopefully we can acquire a pick or two again when if/when Kovy is traded.

Isn't gaudreau from NJ ?

Johnny Hockey doesn't play for the Leafs, so he's not as big of a star. (Plus, he's basically from Philly. JVR is from Monmouth. Doesn't get any more Jersey than Monmouth, right? Maybe Ocean...)

Morris, Sussex, Somerset, Middlesex are very Jersey Counties.

No love for Essex?

Rutt's Hut, Star Tavern, and The Cloverleaf are all iconic NJ locations. Plus the Devils play in Essex And every level of income is represented there haha. The only "Jersey" thing missing these days in Essex is a farm haha

Sure, I can include Essex too.
But too many ex NYers in South Orange, Maplewood, Verona & Montclair.

The Devils just traded Marc Savard contract and Lou Lamoriello for Johansson

This still remains the post of the thread right here.

All I'm saying is I hope Shero brings us a Cup before he's sent to prison for this robbery

Correction :



*THIS* is the post of the thread.

It's from Planet Of The Apes

He asked who the ACTOR is.



(psst....Charlton Heston)


















EDIT : you know what? Mods, please merge my 3 posts. I thought someone would've posted something by now.



EDIT 2 : Thank you.

Do you mind if I steal this pic. It's fantastic

Let's put all the hysteria to rest.

Johansson is a very good, second-line player. He has the offensive acumen to fill in on a first line, and the two-way acumen to fill in on a checking line. He has the versatility to play LW or C.

Is he a dominant force which will make the Devils into an immediate playoff threat? No, but he is a very good, very versatile two-way player who will improve the Devils' power play and zone entries. And the Devils got him at a very good price, for a 2nd and 3rd round pick which were acquired for taking on a salary of a retired player (Savard) and losing an executive whom they were forcing out, anyway (Lamoriello).

The Johansson deal must be looked at for what it is: a bargain pick-up of a very good but not great player who immediately makes the Devils a better team.

This acquisition also gives the Devils an expendable LW/C (Henrique? Quenneville? Zacha?) who can, in turn, be shopped to acquire the top-4 D which the Devils desperately need.

It was a good trade. And as all the best Devils writers (Wassel, Cordell) keep reiterating, the Devils are not done dealing yet.

This trade is great. While I love picks, we essentially got a very serviceable player for 2 picks that were layups. He may not of course put up the same points he did last year but this is great

 

[glenwo2]

^ very serviceable?

When I hear that term, I'm thinking of a 35+ year old Vet who still has something left.

MarJo is, I think, just 26 years old and has plenty of talent...AND is already an NHL player. He's not just "serviceable", I believe he will be way better than just that.

(maybe not allstar material but damn. He's going to be a very effective player for this team)

Essex has a couple of farms. Fairfield Farms is popular.

Something really new and interesting everyone should check out because it's new tech farming and is bringing jobs to Newark is http://aerofarms.com/. It's the world's tallest vertical farm right in Newark.

Hey.

Can Ottawa have Johansson for a 2nd + 3rd?

Should have had Dorion call MacLellan before Shero got to him!

While there are many Devils fans in Hudson/Bergen, too many others in those counties lack Jersey pride.

It makes you wonder if there is some common forum where the 31 NHL GMs can put stuff like trade bait. Probably not, but I was thinking maybe some type of internet thing. I guess word of mouth amongst execs and scouts gets the job done. Because in a trade like this majority of people believe Washington was fleeced, but its not like Brian McLellan is calling up 30 other GMs asking what he could get.

Who knows? It could be possible. I know there is a database for all of the players and their cellphone numbers and ect.
