Value of: Marcus Johansson to the Jets

[VoynovsParoleOfficer]

It seems that there is a huge split in Capitals fans who really like Marcus Johansson and those who would not mind seeing him leave town after his contract negotiations took their latest turn. What would it take to land MoJo in Winnipeg? ... Would you be looking for an immediate return? Prospects? Draft picks? I think MoJo could be a nice fit in Winnipeg who could use some LW depth especially since when healthy they look real strong on the right side and have some useful C pieces as well. Could see Johansson locking up a top 6 spot there and cashing in on a 55 point season playing with Little and Laine.

Im not a WPG fan but id have to say that none of the big name currents are going anywhere obviously and Conner & Dano are also off list. So maybe something around Brendan Lemeiux or Joel Armia?

...so Ehlers finished last season at LW, Laine plays LW, then there's that Connor kid who also plays LW, ...

 

[Thorburnt]

No disrespect to Johansson but we're loaded with wingers. Simply no need. Our only immediately fixable team need would be an expansion exempt LD, preferably acquired with Myers.

Ehlers prefers to play RW 5v5 so he can use his wrist shot off the rush more often, but still. Maybe the OP is thinking back to when our LW depth was Ladd and Kane.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Can he play QB?

Was under impression Laine would slot at RW behind wheel and conner is more of a natural centerman. Like I said not a WPG fan but that's the notion I got from research. Ehlers def solid LW but besides that I saw room for improvement but if Laine and Conner both play left then I see your point

 

[Stej]

Where does Winnipeg fit him, especially if he gets around $4.5m?

Ehlers - Scheifele - Wheeler
Laine - Little - Stafford
Connor - Perrault - Armia
Lowry - Matthias - Dano
Burmistrov - Copp - Kosmachuk
Lemieux - Petan - Lipon
Tanev - De Leo - Thorburn
Peluso, Howden

That's almost 8 lines of forwards that could realistically see time in the NHL this year.

God damn...can you send the Penguins on of those young wingers? Please?

 

[Stuzchuk]

sorry but I dont think that he's a very good fit in WPG.... can he replace Pavelec as their no.1 GL?

 

[JetsHomer]

Jets have Perreault, Laine and Connor at LW. No room for Johansson in Winnipeg

 

[Gump Hasek]

The Jets say no thanks.

 

[Paradise*]

He's not needed in Winnipeg.

I'd be interested in Orlov for a young winger.

 

[Guardian17]

We need a left defencman not a left winger.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

There's no room for him here.

I think this sums it up. The bolded guys played in the NHL last season. And those who aren't bolded... yeah.

 

[Evil Little]

Can he play QB?

 

[heretik27]

Can he play QB?

This is the question we need to be addressing here. Drew Willy sucks.

 

[Keystone]

We need a left defencman not a left winger.

Yup. Try Orlov.

Orlov is exactly what the Jets need. I wonder what it would take to get him?

Orlov is a lefty, but he prefers the right side, and he's not gonna be exempt from the expansion draft.

 

[Maukkis]

Orlov is a lefty, but he prefers the right side, and he's not gonna be exempt from the expansion draft.

Him being on the right side isn't a problem, provided that Trouba isn't adamant on playing on the right side. We could run something like this:

Trouba-Buff
Enstrom-Myers
Morrissey-Orlov

Or, if Trouba wants to be on his natural side, then I think we would go

Enstrom-Buff
Orlov-Trouba
Morrissey-Myers

IDK really. And the expansion part shouldn't be a problem. LV will face the situation of having to sacrifice picking the best player available, which would often be a defenseman, in order to have any kind of offensive firepower. Winnipeg will guaranteedly have some forwards up for grabs, such as Dano and Lowry. They might even be better than Orlov anyway, so I don't think there's any chance of Orlov being taken.

But back to the point. What would you need for him?

The roster's pretty much set aside from getting Johansson and Orlov signed. The only scenarios I could see would be trading him for a 3LW if they deem Johansson too expensive and trade him (but for some reason don't get a cheaper 3LW back in the trade) or for picks/prospects if they sign Johansson and then can't afford Orlov.

 

[sully1410]

I'm not against acquiring more LW depth tbh.

 

[BrianFromAIH]

Wrong Johansson. If you want to send us JOHANSEN, we'll talk.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Lucas Johansen?
