I have researched POJ. Fairly heavily actually when people were proposing Johnson to LA at the trade deadline. He's been a pretty disappointing 1st round pick. For someone who really hates Forbort, I'm surprised you like this kid. He's essentially the same player. 6'2" beanpole with zero physicality. Decent mobility but not a lot of offensive contributions.

I don’t think anyone is as bad as Forbort.

To be fair, he hasn't cracked an NHL roster yet, so he's objectively not as good as Forbort. He could eventually surpass him, but he hasn't yet. My point is that they're the same type of player. All the complaints you had about Forbort, you're likely going to have about this kid too.

Kings trade is good JJ is terrible POJ will be playing in the NHL this year. The pick 4 5 6 round any will do.
The Edmonton trade I would rather keep ZAR

He's likely making the team this year and if Forbort was on any other team he would have never made a lineup. Only reason Forbirt looked good on paper is because he was playing with Doughty.

That could well be true. However, Forbort actually looked really good in 2016-17 before the wheels fell off. I'm not advocating for bringing back Forbort, but I'm also suggesting that we probably shouldn't bring back a Forbort clone either.

I agree 100% for the 2016-17 season. I thought he was really something. Then every shift after that he was the worst defenseman in the NHL.

Would rather keep a 4th liner who we replaced in Sceviour compared to getting a kid who was just picked 3rd overall recently. Interesting strategy to have a million fourth liners with no upside.

POJ is a pretty good skater and puck transitioning defenseman, I can't say I watched many Wilkes-Barre games, but the stuff I have read about him was mostly positive. Hes got a pretty decent stick defensively to make up for some of his lack of physical play. I don't think he will ever be a huge point getter, but he could be a guy who still creates offense through smart plays in the defensive and neutral zone. And I agree that LA would likely buy Johnson out after a year or 2 when they are truly trying to compete again, and Johnsons buyout isn't really that bad at all.

Honestly, I'd consider taking a 2nd round pick before I would take POJ as compensation for Jack Johnson.
