I'm not sure if you were the one who did a mock just like this but I personally don't like Johnson as a fit or even Vanek on our team. No reason for either. Johnson isn't "dependable" and Vanek..... why? Cehlarik and Bjork can come back up in 10-20 games and be better.
Worst case scenario is that a top 6 player goes down and someone gets bumped up and the void created gets filled by Czarnik who's earned a better shot this year. He was the least sucky player when he was stuck with Beleskey and Hayes at times last season, so this guy deserves a shot with 2 competent line mates. He wasn't good this season, but I'd rather see him in there than Vatrano at this point.
If All Vanek costed was Vatrano and a 4th then I'd take it immediately. I wouldn't be doing it for Vanek to play on our team, but I'd take that trade and then send him somewhere else for more. If Martin Hanzal was worth a 1st and a 2nd last season then Vanek's gotta be worth atleast a 2nd at this point.
