I would have sat Johnsson and kept Maltsev in but AJ did get his 1st point in 47 games so Ruff has to ride the hot hand. (It was a secondary assist on a goal where Maltsev had the primary assist.)
I think Fitz's strenuous defense of Johnsson on the trade deadline call was the worst moment of the season to me. I was tolerating AJ under the assumption that he would be exposed to Seattle, and maybe even moved with salary retained if necessary. Now I'm afraid that he'll be protected, we'll lose McLeod or Bastian, and he'll be given a prominent role next season. Just awful.
