Cash or Czech Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Paying Johansen $4mil to be on your team is decent value. Paying $4mil for him to not be on your team is odd, especially if the return is the rights to a guy who didn’t put up a point in the 11 games he managed to play for Colorado. What is Nashville even shedding salary for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, Trotz coached him and realized he didn't want him on the team back then, and now he can get him off the team because he's the GM.

Phil Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 My guess is the player asked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Great place to land, too. This year’s Avs struggled because of a lack of depth. He should take over that 2C role no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Wtf is this? 1. Galchenyuk was with the Avs?? 2. Why are Preds giving away Johansen at 50% to a team in their division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Although it looks bad on the surface, it is not hard to admit that the Predators did not have much leverage here. He was heavily overpaid at $8M per year, and getting his contract off the books was a priority this offseason. The Predators are also loaded at center right now, with Tommy Novak, Cody Glass, and Juuso Parssinen more deserving of the top three center spots right now. Having Johansen play on the fourth line making as much as he was making was really not an option for the team and they had to do something about it. https://predlines.com/2023/06/25/nashville-predators-johansen-trade-avs/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
