Solid deal for both sides, didn’t think the Caps could return a 3rd for MoJo but he’s having a good year and should do well in a place he’s already familiar with.

Decent deal both ways. Him and foligno on a line would be solid.

Fair deal. 3rd round pick for a decent 3rd like winger.

Good value and fair trade

I like this trade for the Wild. He'll slot in as the 2nd line center and let JEEK go back with Greenway and Foligno. If they play him at wing, then MoJo, JEEK, Boldy works. I'd like to see Duhaime, MoJo, Boldy. Obviously Id rather sit Greenway, leave Duhaime on L3 and call up Walker, but I don't see that happening.

MoJo for a 3rd is about what I expcted the Wild to do.

Fair. He'll help the Wild's third line and can play higher in a pinch. Caps get a 3rd, which is more than I expected.

2021

Staal for Johansson that shocked the league

2023

Hes back

Really fair trade in general.

Sheary = 2nd?
extend Jensen have him play w Sandin?

Think so. probably TvR gone as well

Capitals turn Orlov into Sandin + 2nd. Guss was a free asset

Marcus? We wanted him back?
Sure, but a third feels a touch high, especially with how valuable we can make our picks
Fair I guess, with edge to Washington

I think the extra picks from retention made Guerin consider that 3rd more expendable

The Caps are sellers now ?

I guess adding Draft assets to trade next year if they're closer to the playoff bubble teams.

annual marcus johansson trade ✅️

Plan seems to be trade all expiring contracts that could bring a decent return, and loading up for next year.

How many 3rd line center does one team needs!?! (It's a joke, I know he doesn't play center anymore)

A 3rd round pick is not much, but I'm not sure how much of an impact he will have on the Wild. Call it a fair trade.

I think this deal is fair. A 3rd is a modest price for a modest pick up. Johansson is such a weird player in the NHL. He's managed to stick around as a journeyman bottom/middle 6 point producer. That's kind of rare. It's funny that the Leafs can spend a 3rd on a player that likely spends more games in the pressbox than on the ice, but it's ok because he hits, but spending a 3rd on player capable of putting up decent secondary offense is somehow disappointing.

Minnesota shouldn't be all in this year in my opinon. They are good, but their cap constraints in the short run make it so hard to be at their best, I like the way they have navigated this deadline. They have basically netted out to even in assets, while getting some small improvements. The West is wide open, and the team they already have is likely enough to at least be competitive in the West. I think it's an underrated strategy to realize that while your team is competitive, this just isn't the year to be all in.

Johansson said that he was Surprised Capitals Traded Him: 'Felt Like I Found Myself A Little Bit

Last year, Johansson was traded with 50% retention for Daniel Sprong + a 4th + a 6th.

This year, Johannson was traded with 0% retention for a 3rd.



In both cases, it's pretty close in value.

Fair deal.
