i dont know if you saw but johnsson is out for 6 months so hes not worth anything to any team.

This trade is happening two years from now, so I'm assuming he's fully healthy and putting up numbers.

I don't know if you saw but this is set 2021-22, Johnsson is out 8 weeks not 30 months

And why would they trade someone who is putting up numbers and healthy?

Because they have players ready to step in and would like the extra 1st in 2022 to make a big play at a solid rental for a deep run, but who knows this is cap friendly fantasy world

Good call on staying true to the system and getting the young players to come up ...i can't remember the last time I saw the leafs change that little in that last few seasons

And who knows, if climate change is as real and threatening as they say it is, maybe hockey games will be played underground or in outer space

The Oilers arent giving up 1st, 2nd, 3rd in 2022. Especially for that.
