I like this. We have a ton of quality LHD in the system, so Johansen is expendable. Alexeyev has seemingly passed him, plus Siegenthaler and Fehervary both have NHL upside.
We’d definitely need LA to eat that salary for it to work, given the paydays we have to give Vrána and Djoos in the off-season. But even if Carter doesn’t perform like he has in the past, it’s still an upgrade over what we’ve got with Burakovsky. And if he does perform like he has in the past, our entire team got taken up three notches, given how complete a player Jeff Carter is
