Predicted 11 goals for Joey before the season. I appreciate that I was wrong.
He only has 11 goals now, if he goes on an insane cold streak I will probably hate you forever.
Well you must note that in 1889 Mika Mandop, 8th base for his Cricket team the Neon Bullets, was going into his 3rd season after two disappointing seasons. In that third season he was good, so I think Joey will be great.
Now you just need to write about 8 more paragraphs on the subject to really drive the point home.

Piece on Johansen meeting expectations:

Starting to really like this team down the center. Now they just need some wingers and wiz to stay in the lineup. I think even though the offense is lacking this is a really solid team with horton. Hopefully gaborik returns something that can play wing in the top six. Also JJ has been real good imo. Go Joey!
Pretty sad though when a team can reasonably think they can score 3 goals in the last 3 minutes to the point where they pull their goalie and take a timeout. It's not them, its us

Its funny, just 2 years ago defense and center depth were seen as the ultimate weaknesses on the team, now are seen as big strengths.

It's our supposed strength, but let us not forget we struggle to hang onto leads and keep the puck out of our net.
Two games in the past two years, and you call it a struggle? History suggests that if anything, they're good at keeping leads. Minus the last week.

This. The D got off to a slow start this year, but I think its been very solid since and especially when Bob went down.
What seems to making RyJo so special is his intelligent approach to the game. He really shows smarts on the ice in addition to his skill. It has taken him a few years to develop, but he is the whole package.

IMO, he already is a more complete player than Nash. He is starting to score, he is good on defense, he makes little passes and plays that most others don't, and he is good at faceoffs.
Somewhere between the league minimum and maximum. How about we see how he finishes the season before we speculate? This topic could do down hill quick.

I said it a few weeks back, but its pretty important for the future of the franchise so I don't mind repeating myself. We sign Johansen long term now and save money. Or we go next summer for a bridge contract and you'll be paying him $8 million a year long term.

I'm not to big on signing players after 1 year of a good season. Look at Brass and Mason. Especially when said player has had concerns with motivation and effort in his history.

For one good offensive season? If that's what he wants, it will be a long negotiation.
