Wow what a **** trade for the Leafs

top dman in klingberg, getting rid of a 10 million dollar contract in marner, getting a speedy 3rd liner, who you can put under contract, getting grit and speed and better penalty killers which the leafs need, getting better defensive depth, what else would you want? There aren't many teams that are gonna take his contract and have pieces to spare. If you think it's that bad, then maybe get rid of the first.

Ottawa laughs at this deal.

remove a second round if it's that bad haha, they need depth and they're getting it in this deal, and players with term too. Johnnson is good when given more minutes, but he has no time on the team. Also, both 2nds are late 2nds since they're coming from cbj and nyi.

Johnsson isn't worth more than Tierney. Tierney is a C, and a fantastic PK guy. I wouldn't give even one 2nd for Johnsson given the depth of young LW Ottawa has. It's just unnecessary when they have Formenton, Balcers, Abramov who could all walk on to the 3rd line LW spot out of camp. That isn't the level of player Ottawa should target

good point, that makes sense. In my opinon, johnsson is worth more because he's under contract, can play both wings, can play up and down the lineup (has played really well with matthews, tavares, and spezza), can kill penalties really well, can be a net front presence on the powerplay, and has really good possession numbers. I would go after tierny as a RFA if they had problems during contract negotiations.
They'd also get another veteran PK guy, and a speedy winger that the young guys can learn from, or they can flip for a pick. Cogliano is always healthy too, had the longest iron man streak until a one game absence this year.
