Johnston isn’t going anywhere.

There's still time to delete this before Dallas fans step into your crease.

makes zero sense.

overpay even for Johnston, its 4x 1rd - no way pays 4x first round pick

Love WJ but he's not worth the top 5 pick and adding multiple valuable pieces on top of that makes it even worse

Doubt Dallas would even more Wyatt for #1 overall. 65 point 20 year old with superstar potential is not getting moved lmao.

How do you estimate this to be four 1st round picks???

Struble is likely a good 2nd, and Newhook got traded for a 1st and a 2nd, and his value has gone up a decent amount.
So the 2 1st this year, the 1st from Newhook, and the rest of Newhooks value + Struble’s value gets to 1st rd pick value

His value has gone up??? How on earth could you possibly think that ?

Got his career high in 20 games less

Career high by one single point? with a career low +/-
He is a 4th line center on a cup contender and a 3rd line center on a bad team. Just because habs were dumb enough to give up multiple picks for a bottom 6 player doesn't mean other teams will lol

not sure if you’re serious or not.

About as serious as someone that thinks two bottom of the line up players and a late pick plus one top pick is somehow worth a likely all-star center that would instantly be the second best player the habs have lmao

By definition, Newhook is a top 6 player: Lets do some math:
32 teams X 6 forwards = 192 forwards.
Forward 192 had a 0.49 ppg this year (for players with at least 30 games). Newhook’s ppg was 0.62, ranking him tied for 125.

So find the evidence that he is a bottom line player, cause he absolutely isn’t

Dallas obviously isn’t trading Johnston. Maybe if you offered Slafkovsky

I get the habs haven’t had a superstar in decades but if you think a guy that averages about 34 points a season is a top 6 player on a contender then idk what to tell ya. Habs should keep him if he’s so valuable

So to your logic. Zegras and Jack Quinn are not top 6 players this year because they had under 20 pts

Gotta love how you cherry pick two players who are on terrible teams and both players played about 30 games
whatever helps you sleep at night i guess

Both players are younger and have already had better careers than newhook. But again. Whatever you gotta tell yourself so you can "win" the argument

oh trust me I know. I see habs fans making fools of themselves on here every single day. Hence why instead of making any sort of rebuttal you just claim I am stupid
wanna try again or did you give up after I made you look like a fool?

Aight you win, Caufield is a 4th liner, Suzuki should be sent to Russia, Slafkovsky is a bust, Crosby is better than Gretzky, B.Rust is better than Kucherov, and Jarry was robbed 5 Vezinas

That's what I figured.
