Not really. Johansen's shown us more and I don't think the KHL/Russia is a likely option.
Plenty of negotiations start with sides far apart. Then they, you know, negotiate over time and eventually a common ground is met and a deal is signed.
The idea of panic trading our best young player because he's an unsigned RFA in July is lunacy. Plenty of time to get a deal done and one will get done.

My lame attempt at Star Wars humor has failed. I feel shame.

Oiler fan here. Big fan or RyJo and think CBJ should and most likely will find a way to hold onto him. But, just out of curiosity, would this interest most CBJ fans…

2015 1st (top 3 protected) becomes 2016 if EDM gets top 3 in 2015.
I do get the hesitation in going long term big money with a guy who looked a bust 14 months ago, that being said, maybe he's finally got all of crap together, the kid could be a stud.

No ... move along.
We wouldn't trade the right to select him for Jordan Eberle; we're not going to trade him as he's becoming an established player for a prospect and a pick with a ridiculous stipulation.
The cost for Ryan Johansen from Edmonton would be at the very least Taylor Hall and a prospect. I don't care how many points Taylor Hall (or any other Oiler) scored last year - none of them played in the playoffs or showed the breakout potential that Johansen did, and I think if the 2010 draft were redone today, Johansen goes 1 or 2 - ahead of Hall.

I love his game, more so than Seguin and Hall, but he needs to back it up with another strong season to make me a firm believer. I know Seguin is an allstar, and Hall has insane skills, Joey had 1 incredible season, but I can't forget where he was 18 months ago.
I think it must be our Ohio bred pessimism for anything good in sports, but there is absolutely no precedent for an NHL forward showing the skills of Johansen at age 21 to suddenly become average again. Baseball rookies can and do have career years as rookies since pitchers find holes in their swing and luck can allow too many balls in play to become hits. But the skills to do what Johansen did last year are not going anywhere. The only issue is whether he goes from being upper echelon (NHL All Star team good) to elite (Olympic team top 2 lines good).

Paul Stastny is a guy who had better stats early on and has now regressed; it does happen.

The skills will be there but will he bother trying hard enough to employ them when he is rolling in $, that is the question.

Playing on a line with a prime level Milan Hejduk when he entered the league likely explains the stats. The skills haven't changed.
