Credit where credit is due: Jones is an RD worth trading Nylander and Gardiner for.
Usage quibbles:
2nd line should be playing ahead of the top line. Matthews remains the leafs best player and having Marner on his wing only adds to that.
Johnsson was way more productive than Kapanen last year. (1.27 to 0.81 5v5 P1/60, 1.11 to 0.73 5v5 ixGF/60) He should definitely start the year at 3RW.
I don't get the Johns addition. Unproductive, negative relative Corsi and xG. Zaitsev for Pysyk would clear a comparable amount of cap and get a much better player. After what we've seen from Tallon, he'd 100% do it.
I don't like the trade from CBJ's perspective. Gards isn't much of an add for a rebuilder, and Jones is more of a cornerstone than Nylander. If the Jackets are contending, they still run into the issue of not wanting to deal their cornerstone D, especially with Breadman leaving. Screws their LD/RD balance up too, forcing them to put Savard on the top pair. Not great.
