Bro I'd seriously rather trade Johnson and a 1st than give up Rust. Rust embodies everything that the coaching staff thinks the team should be. He's fast, versatile, a penalty killer, is fantastic in transition. **** the 1st rounders IMO the time to win is NOW and we need Rust to win now

DET don't want Jarry. They already have Howard, Bernier & Pickard.

Understandable, and I agree. If we can offload Johnson with a first I would be okay with that as well. I just feel like if that was going to happen it would of already.

Well they're gonna have to get rid of some salary somehow unless they want Petterson to get offersheeted

Petterson cant b offersheeted, Not eligable I believe

It doesn't cost a 1st to offload JJ.
My guess is he goes to a team in need for little to no cost. At worst they bury him and he goes on LTIR with an "injury".
Ego is a hard thing to fix, he may never recover.
