Confirmed with Link: Devils acquire Marcus Johansson from WSH

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

so we traded Graham Black, Paul Thompson, and Louis Lamoriello for Marcus Johansson

essentially

 

[Devilsgrl35]

I've always liked Johansson. Love this deal. Shero taking advantage of our cap room and and another teams cap problems.

 

[DEVILS130]

There's our top 6 RW!!! Just need that dman

 

[Devils Trap]

Johansson would have been top of our team in points last year lol

 

[ghdi]

Johanssen either waived to come here or we were not on the no trade list.

 

[Hivemind]

Yup RW. Can also play C I believe

Left wing, not RW. He played RW like 3 or 4 years ago for the end of one season, but has been far more effective at LW. He broke into the league as a center, but has only spent about 15 games there over the past few years.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Wow. ****ing Shero man winning back the crowd.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

That crow has to taste really good right now. Serioudly though, hopefully this restores some faith in our GM for some of our faithful.

Johanssen either waived to come here or we were not on the no trade list.

His No Trade List is only 5 teams long.

I was wrong then. Swore I saw him at RW sometime this year.

Very excited about the pickup either way

 

[Blender]

Great trade! I love this.

 

[beekay414]

But what is the plan, Ray?!?!?!

God, I love that man.

 

[Hivemind]

I know in the playoffs I saw him at RW a few games

Negative. His line for the entire playoffs had Justin Williams on the RW.

 

[Devilsfan92]

Excellent trade, very good player. Reminds me of the Palmieri deal.

Shero with some excellent asset management here.

 

[Sascha Goc]

Josefson out and Johansson in. 8 years after the '09 draft we got it right lol

"When time is on your side, you use it. - Lou Lamoriello, 2012" - Ray Shero, 2017

 

[Devils Dominion]

What top-4 defenders are on the trade market ?

 

[OmNomNom]

yeah, who needs to go for free agency when you can go for trades

 

[DEVILS130]

"When time is on your side, you use it. - Lou Lamoriello, 2012" - Ray Shero, 2017

Nice

 

[Darkauron]

 

[Bleedred]

Just another crappy forward for the tank!

 

[OmNomNom]

why did the caps do this though? cap relief?

 

[DEVILS130]

Wonder if we seriously consider dangling Henrique + Pick/Prospect for a dman now

"When time is on your side, you use it. - Lou Lamoriello, 2012" - Ray Shero, 2017

Brilliant.

 

[Traitor Zach]

Terrific move. Big fan of his. Hopefully we lock him up for longer term.
