jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 We wouldnt be able to get him without Larkin,which we wouldn't do. Other than that they'd want a young high end d prospect, which we don't really have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that the cat is out of the bag they are dealing from a position of weakness...maybe Jenner is the next one wanting out boy that would be cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 He's a million dollar talent but a 1 cent desire type player. He only plays well when things are going well. When there is adversity he folds like a cheap tent in a wind storm. He will never be a leader and statistically he may have had his best season already. Not worth it.

Poile isn't an idiot I don't think he even considers that and I'm a fan of Johanson.As usual HF takes the cake...with names like Ekblad who might be the most untouchable Panther right now Edited November 25, 2015 by frankgrimes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteLightning91 105 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 I feel like it has been fairly evident over the course of the last couple seasons that Johanson's problems stem from long before Tortorella came around. Not sure why you think he's the one pushing the kid out. Seemed to me Johanson's hasn't ever seen himself in Columbus long term. No matter what contract he signed. 1 BuckeyeWingsfan80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 Apparently he has been recently diagnosed with a disease where he gets fatigued very quickly. This happened early on this season shortly after Tortorella called him out of shape. I have to feel like this is a factor for Columbus looking to move him, would make sense.

FlashyG 1,799 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 Not only will the Wings be unlikely to part with the assets required to get him, I don't think they have the salary cap space to take his 4 Million cap hit without shedding nearly equal salary going to Columbus 1 DatsyukianDekes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 And Kindl If we're giving up Howard + Kindl, throw in Callahan and Smith for Malkin/Toews three way trade where we get both. Maybe throw in a 2019 7th to sweeten the deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Rick Nash Nikolai Zherdev Derick Brassard Jeff Carter Jakub Vorachek Marian Gaborik Ryan Johansen Add their current goaltender Bobrowski to that list and you have roster that can win you Stanley Cups. Apparently he has been recently diagnosed with a disease where he gets fatigued very quickly. This happened early on this season shortly after Tortorella called him out of shape. I have to feel like this is a factor for Columbus looking to move him, would make sense. I was always under the impression this was just said to calm things down after Torts showed his genius skills in handling players again. If it is true it would drive down prices for Johansen considerably. But I doubt it. I think there is something to what Frank said : Torts may be one reason why Johansen wants to leave. Calling him out openly may have been the tipping point for him. Edited November 25, 2015 by derblaueClaus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 Should the Wings get him ? If the price is right yes. But prices for #1 D-Man are crazy these days and I doubt that Holland will part ways with Larkin,Mantha or any other top talent. And rightfully so. Forgive me if I'm misreading your quote, but Johansen's a forward. 1 derblaueClaus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's really nothing to the rumor at the moment. There was some tension because the system changed from Richards to Torts, but that was for everyone, not just Johansen. As with most things, now that they've won a few games things are settling in a bit. He's still not worth the headaches his attitude issues will eventually bring, despite his talents, but this rumor is mostly an assumption more than an actual ongoing thing....

jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) If he doesnt demand too much, I could see them making a play for Reimer in the offseason.I have a feeling he's not going to be asking for backup money.Maybe not 5-6mill yet, but I could see him taking a one/two year deal at around 4mill on a team with a good defense that won't leave high and dry like Toronto does. Then he'll ask for the big money. If we got rid of Howard, I would be fine with getting him here on a one year "show me what you really are outside of the Toronto dumpster fire" deal around 2mill. He's a lot better than he looks a lot of the time over there, he just really doesn't get much help. I also have a feeling babs will try to keep him for some reason.
