That is a very small 3rd line. Jost and Foligno were awful as linemates in MN. MN passes anyway, this trade makes them worse.

Why trade Johnson for a 3rd when you get a second for him as compensatory if he doesn't sign?

I think Adams won't even consider Gudas as an addition to the team.

Minnesota wouldn't want victor o whose a one trick pony basically. One way player who was benched and wouldn't be wanted by Dean Evason or most likely Bill. Zuccarello isn't waiving for Buffalo.

Savoie can't go to Rochester, it's either Juniors or Buffalo.

Matt Savoie will get his nine-game tryout, and unless he blows the doors off everyone he goes back to juniors afterwards. From there, he plays in the world junior championships, and probably gets called up to Rochester in the spring when they are allowed to do that. Kulich will have every opportunity to make the team in camp. But if he doesn’t, he will be the first call up if healthy. It wouldn’t surprise me if Rosen saw a couple of games during next season too. The way he has played in Rochester’s playoff run I am prepared to add Rosen to the list of prospects I am not willing to trade: Kulich, Savoie, Rosen, Levi. We have not seen what Ostlund can do yet, but it would take one hell of a trade for Adams to part with him too.
