Ottawa will want far more than you have given them I would think. Anaheim and New Jersey trades make no sense for their team. Simmonds fetched a first rounder last year, even if he's a bit down in production, TImashov and a 5th is not the price.

Simmonds fetched 1st rounder? Wasnt the price bottom-6 forward and 4th??

Has Johnsson been bad this year?

Nope.

Shoot...I got very mixed up there. A former first rounder anyway. Sorry. Regardless, I still don't want him in TO.

Does he hold his own as a middle 6 winger? Does he drive the play or is he like a Dzingel type of player

Absolutely. He is more like fringe top-6 winger when you need him to be on top line. I dont really have a good comparison for him because he is a weird type of player. Gritty, greasy player. Has playmaking skills, has the speed, has the scoring touch, net front presence.. he can do it all on special teams too, but doesnt stand out in anything and sometimes tends to disappear from games and he can be best player on ice couple minutes after. Really weird type of player.. I would say faster, more skilled but less grind version of Andrew Shaw.

OTT laughs you out of the building.

DeMelo is worth a 2nd.

THe goalie prospect youre sending would be 5th in line in our camp, AND youre asking for our current starter who still has a year on his contract?

AND you want us to take a guy who is making 4x3.4AAV putting up <40pts while often playing with Nylander and Tavares.

Johnsson + 2021 1st

DeMelo + Nilsson + 2021 4th
