0% certainty that R Johnson is anything in the NHL

Don't mean to be a negative Nellie in sector G but

He's a solid prospect and that's about it right now

All told this is one of the better AGMs here lately

Oddly it's more sensible and balanced than most

I clicked on it expecting something crazy 🤕☹😥

I disagree, i see a lot of potential and baring GM KA looking this post for inspiration, I'm excited to see him in a Sabres uniform in the next season or 2. I think he's going to be the #2 LHD behind Dahlin

I'd easily sell him at potential top 4 guy value but this is not it, like that package is barely enough for Eichel.
