Of course the division champs are interested in the worst team's worst players, brilliant.

Yzerman wouldn’t take Johnson for free so now he trades for him? A ton of people like to bash Glendening but I’d wager he returns a pick at the TDL if flipped. I want Patches to stay in Vegas and it doesn’t make too much sense to trade for him (from Detroit in the middle of a rebuild).

Tampa accepts so fast

I only pitched this idea as this would jumpstart the rebuild.
Tanking isn't a good option anymore in todays Lottery pick era. Detroit learned the hard way last season from this.

I'm not sure why everyone is so down on Johnson. he is a 40-50 point Center. but I get it if Yzerman doesn't want to go down that road again.

what do you think the return is on Patches?

You’re correct, people like to bash Glenny. I like him, he’s got “heart.” He’s got a limited skill set and a limited role but he does it well and he’s perfected it.

When (and if) the TB/DET trade is announced I won’t be surprised one bit when TJ is in the deal. You’re getting push-back because it most likely won’t include anything going back to TB and will include sweeteners to DET.

which is fine. I would completely agree that TBay would need to add. just didnt need the Tbay fans to come after me telling me how amazing TJ is.

Patches still has a NTC. I'm sure poor teams with cap aren't on his trade list. Gotta think he will only be willing to be traded to contender...and which one those teams have cap?

Johnson not worth his 5m X 4 contract. Gotta think Wings and other teams keep their cap space despite the sweeteners Tampa might throw their way.

Yes. However this trade isn’t realistic. Stevie Y won’t give up a pick to take Johnson

Wings pass on both.
Tampa adds in a first a 3rd and hugo
Pacc will cost then so much because of term.

These trades won't even come close to happening as is, both tampa and Vegas add so much

@Herms17 There have been many rumours floating around that Yzerman may take Johnson's contract for a 1st plus probably a prospect (Hugo) and maybe another pick. Other rumours saying he might also take Killorn's contract, but I am kind of doubting that. So your trade is quite a bit off base here.

oh really. I had zero idea of that Rumor or haven't heard about it. IF there was a way to lite this team on fire and delete it then i would. Thanks for the insight tho.

Man I'm not trying to chirp you I am just letting you know.

no Chirp away man ahah. I love it
