Not a terrible idea I guess, obviously he played well for them last year.
BUT: They let him walk, do you really think they would now give up more stuff to bring him back?
Also, your trade value is off. Take out either the 2nd or Zboril and it works

You paid a second and a fourth for him only last year. Why would you add two prospects to that now?

This is not happening. Just like NJ is not trading for John Moore.

I like Johansson, but he doesn't fix anything. He is much more of a playmaker than a goal scorer.

exactly.

because last year he was a rental. this year hes not. so you have to pay for the 2nd year of retention.

They had to let him walk because the money didnt add up with our offseason budget. I know they wanted him back. Sure hes a playmaker but he made the offense alot better last year. zboril right now does not equal a 2nd...

I know nj isnt trading for moore. Its just an interesting idea where johansson was actually good with the bruins. I agree bruins need a goal scorer but im tired of seeing kreider get overpaid, toffoli rumors have been going on for over a year now, maybe a 3rd guy in the mix. as well as trying out the kids. who knows.

This is true that they let him walk because of the money, so retaining could work.
It is NOT true that they want him back, they are targeting Toffoli or someone else thats a scorer.
And Zboril is not worth more than a 2nd, and is certainly not worth less so I have no clue what you value him at
