Player Discussion: Kent Johnson

[stevo61]

Where would you have KJ in a re-draft if it was held today? Who would you take before him?

Such a weird draft for me and still a weird top end. Looked like a few guys could pop but none of them have really jumped ahead. Johnston has probably been looking the best over the last year from that draft but then it's up in the air. To be fair though Johnston is probably in a better situation than most of these guys but to his credit he's fully taken advantage of what he was given and exceeded expectations. This version of Johnson has to put him close to the very top if he sustains it.

Guess Anaheim fans were right, he's no Zegras. He's an actual player improving in all 3 zones

I would still have Johnson go 5th OA behind Beniers at 1st OA (despite his sophomore slump it's clear he projects as a 70+ point center with strong leadership and two-way play) and then some order of Power, Hughes, and McTavish.

To bump up Johnson he would need to outproduce the others by a good margin due to him being a W.
