Player Discussion: Kent Johnson

[VT]

I think Kent could be a great center, but he needs to be better physically. Yes, he's improved, but still not enough to be a better center than a winger. And one more thing, faceoffs. Besides, now we need him more on the wing.

I didn't want to watch the World Cup, our national team doesn't interest me too much. But now I will have a reason.

I was curious if anything happened recently to bring about the winger vs center conversation, and then I remembered the thread still has this old title.

We hadn't talked about it since the last time KJ was tried at center and he was swiftly injured on the faceoff.

I watched some of the games in replays and it seemed to me that he has improved his game, which needs to be controlled by the center. And since the name hasn't changed, I wrote my idea. I'll try to watch all games I didn't watch in the season. The NHL is over for me, it will start in September with our preseason games.

Unfortunately with the boards breaking a few months ago it changed a lot of things, including some thread titles back to what they used to be. But I changed it back now

Missed the 1st and most of the second but good to see him on the board x2 with some smart patient goals

If he can continue to grow in his stature and stay healthy I think he could potentially be a PPG player

I was thinking his upside is in the 90s more than low 80's

I was going to say it but people get a little worked up if you are too positive around here.

Highest offensive ceiling within the organization easily for my money.

It's too bad we have such a shitty top D pair and have to trade KJ to fix it.

Offensive talent grows on tree's atleast. Look how blessed we've been in the teams history with high end talent
