Wallander was just Promoted in Decemeber to Top Pair with Hutson
He's on the #2 team in the entire NCAA on its top pair rookie year in the NCAA(not unheard of but not Common its usually earner 85% of the time over 1-2 years)


While Kingston Rangers are doing good.
They're one of the best in the at 3rd in the league
But Caron and the Defense infront of him play a complete 200 ft game with only 49 goals against him all year.
Both Malbouef and Parsons get hung out to dry regularly by the Rangers who give up a lot of unnecessary goals

One leads a Championship team or helps as he learns how to take the reigns from Hutson before he turns Pro in Wallander
One lead a Playoff long shot to make it to a Memorial Cup let alone a League Title and i say that as a Huge Mesar Fan wishing they were Contenders for very selfish reasons



That said all this aside for the trade i still like Johansson better as he fits an AHL need today for a Playoff run this year
Hunter fits and works just as well in the long term for us but i'd rather add depth now and Johansons a boring #4 Defensive D who fits the needs</div></div>

Don't get me wrong here Billy, I'm not bashing Willander, but I think we know what Willander is. We don't know what Hunter can be just yet, because he's CRUSHING expectations this year. He can play a solid defensive game and control the pace of play. I've watched him play now eight times.....in KITCHENER....not Kingston...and he is the real deal. He is one of, if not the main reason, that Kitchener is outperforming expectations this year. Selling early on him would be dumb. Selling early on him for a TERRIBLE return is grounds for being fired as a GM.

Trade him for a top notch player, then fine. Trade him for a 3rd line centre (which we already have three) who is only a rental? Then pack your bags Alvin, because you're fired.
