Bennett Buch Borgen

I don't mind it for the Blues. What about adding a 1st round pick swap (16 for 11) and we retain 50% on Buch?

We’re not doing that

Not nearly enough, in my opinion; need a pick in there somewhere; Ryan Johnson is a throwaway piece from 5 years ago

He's not a bad LD prospect, though i would prefer Novikov. Johnson seems steady on defense, and defenders take longer to mature and get better before transitioning into the NHL

He won't provide eye-catching numbers from what I've been reading, he's more liable on the defensive side rather than putting up points. And he's 22

Ugh. Ryan johnson is an nhl defenseman. My only problem with him is that we already have almost all left handed puck movers, and they aren't exactly tough physically. I think granato was quite comfortable putting ryan johnson in the press box, and playing what's left of Erik Johnson every night. I'm just not a fan of his skill set, especially with so many other guys providing the same thing.
This is a common theme for me, other teams fans look at ryan johnson, isak Rosen, noah ostlund, etc and they say, 'nah, let's see if we can get strbak or novikov or Wahlberg instead. Nobody wants our left handed smooth skating puck moving d, or our undersized forward prospects. For the life of me I don't understand why adams chose to prioritize these skill sets.
