Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 alright,..an part time canes fan here is going to check in and take away the cool-aid. A. Jack Johnson is a locker room Cancer. He is an absolute prima donna who got run out of Raleigh for using his Dad as a mouth piece to bash the front office. Sound familiar? Cough Cough Lindros B. He has a very high physical ability. That said, he might be one of the dumber hockey players In the NHL. Seriously, his hockey smarts are like negative 3. He really does play like a rover, a position which became defunct 80+ years ago. C. A big knock against Johnson is his bone head turn overs and offensive instincts that rarely lead to points. Sound familiar again? Oh wait,...he's the defensive version of lenio. Not good. The trait Holland prizes most is Hockey Sense. He wants intelligent hockey players who think the game well (where intelligence is hockey IQ not necessarily standard IQ). Hockey sense is one of the few things you can't train... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 Gotta wonder how much of a "fire sale" they're gonna have, and if Holland would be interested in anyone?...Perhaps Staios? Or Strudwick.. Both would look great in a red jersey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuck in socal 56 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 I watch a lot of the Kings hockey and I think JJ has potential. All I know is Kings fans are always downplaying his game. I mean if we could get Doughty that would be a whole other story. Doughty is playing up to his potential JJ is not. Just do not get Randy Jones from the Kings. If we think Lebda is bad, you have not experienced the Randy Jones Pompapalozza. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Helm is a perfect example, he's got all the hockey smarts in the world but is dumb as a rock, haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) LA has most of a roster signed for next season with plenty of cap space open. So ultimately, it comes down to what moves do they want to make, and what do they want in return for Johnson? Johnson has been the #4 defenseman for the Kings this year, and hasn't been popular with management. Could the Wings get him for something like Leino, Lebda and a 2nd?

thedisappearer 291 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Could the Wings get him for something like Leino, Lebda and a 2nd?[/font] I think that's too much. Jackson is a second line d-man, Lebda is a third. Leino and a 4th or 5th should make up for the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
