Good on Washington for this.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Do I smell a trade?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

So they will meet in the middle around $4.55 million then i would assume.

Do I smell a trade?

Possibly. Washington most likely can't afford him if he wins

 

[hockeykicker]

Unlikely. Caps gm said he is setting a number and isn't going higher and won't let other numbers be used to sway his thinking

 

[Maukkis]

Yeah, that's a 4,5 million contract. Some comparables here would be both Smiths (Reilly and Craig), Palmieri, Killorn, Nyquist, Kadri to name a few. Hard to say if it's a good deal or not. Personally, I don't like it, but Caps fans may not agree.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Unlikely. Caps gm said he is setting a number and isn't going higher and won't let other numbers be used to sway his thinking

So it probably will be a trade then, If his numbers go higher and he wins his case then.

 

[Brock Radunske]

5.25? Bahaha, get real MJ!

 

[BatVader]

Don't see them paying him anything over 4.5.
Trade incoming..... Please Stand By


maybe a swap with TO for JVR would work.

But again, that's just talk. Maybe they meet in middle but if mojo wins he most likely gone

Geez, I hope not.

 

[Irishguy42]

Kreider and his agent looking at the Palmieri/Killorn/MoJo deals be all like:

 

[Irishguy42]

I think MoJo gets somewhere between $4.25M and $4.5M

 

[Nizdizzle]

Don't see them paying him anything over 4.5.

Can't see a reason for Toronto to consider that without a significant add from the Caps.

 

[Richiebottles]

The player asking price had me reacting like the OP's display picture.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Probably gonna get 4.0-4.1

 

[BHD]

Not that he's bad or anything. I think he's 'OK', but OK isn't worth 5.25.

 

[QcFlames12]

Flames likely watching this situation closely, we are missing a player in our top 6 like MJ to play with Backlund And Frolik. Honedtly 4.5 is as High as i would go, would prefer 4 though

 

[BusQuets]

5.25? Bahaha, get real MJ!

I think Johansson's agent is pointing at deals like Shaw and Killorn and is being very real.

If he gets 4 mil Washington jumps for joy and keeps him. That's a 250k raise

 

[Mad Brills*]

JVR for bowey, johansson

 

[hockeykicker]

JVR for bowey, johansson

johansson and first for jvr more likely if they do trade

 

[Iceman]

I think Johansson's agent is pointing at deals like Shaw and Killorn and is being very real.

Except that Shaw and Killorn are not comparable with each other.

 

[twabby]

johansson and first for jvr more likely if they do trade

I'd do this in a heartbeat if I were Washington.
