<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>I guess my question is are you sold on Johansen?

I could suggest Drouin as well, but at near league minimum, you keep him.

I have to think a move in the top 6 is coming - whether that be for a 2C or a winger if Ratanen moves to the middle.

Why? The Stars and Jets roll 3 lines..... and that 2nd unit as constructed would be the line I would be keying in on for favourable matchups. Offensively it is pedestrian at best; Lehkonen isn't going to carry that line). Defensively, well, Lehkonen isn't going to carry that line.

Just a Leafs fan's opinion, but really..... one of those 2 need to be upgraded.</div></div>

I'm not sold on RyJo and definitely think a trade is coming (What's up Elias Lindholm?). 2C has been our issue since Kadri left.

Drouin is a different case imo. He's shown that he can turn it up and been a sneakily good player his last few games, and if that continues he will have 30+ points. I know that's really not an improvement from last year but I believe he's been good in things other than scoring and the Avs seem to like him where he is. As a side note, he has doubled his goal total from last year already so I think that's a plus.

Sujet: Projected lineup and depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>As you said it is early in the season, and by no means would I expect them to keep up this start.

My Leafs have been exceptionally sloppy in their own end early on, but there is so much time to shire things up. I would say the same for the Wings.

We both agree the depth in this team is something else.... and early on, it is certainly proving itself to be something to deal with. I am.not sure the line combos we see right now hold. Wrapping my head around Perron getting 3rd line minutes lol.

We need.to revisit this a the 20 game mark for sure and compare notes.</div></div>

Perron looks slow but he did last year at this time and got faster as the season went on. He's getting old so it takes him some time to get his legs going.

Sujet: I dont care at this point
Maybe not a 2nd but yeah, I'd be ready to pay a 3rd to move him if that was necessary but most likely (99.9%) he has positive value.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>Why would they do that when they could get a return for him and they could use the second to dump joesph</div></div>
They don't need (and most likely don't want) to dump Joseph at all. Just move Kubalik and that's it, enough to sign Pinto 1 years (it's going to be something like 1.9-2.0 AAV for just 1 year)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>I was arguing for months that Joseph had value. I m so happy he has been proving it. Looks like a different player than last year.... energized.

Hats off to a the naysayers that thought it would take an additional 1ST to dump him, and sarcastically ask, "what is he worth now?"

😁</div></div>
I was also among the firsts to defend him and that doesn't sound as crazy now. Well, I am rarely wrong in hockey related subjects so when I push on something, usually there's something to it

That GMBDanny poster is actually the guy that made me dig into Joseph and Laughton advanced stats and then I realized that this whole thing was just a stupid CF narrative.
