This has been proposed before. The trick here is that Johnson has the much higher ceiling but he is coming off an injury. I would think the right thing to do here is try and even this out by adding a draft pick like a 2nd or a 3rd in a future draft based on performance. But the Jackets are unlikely to move Johnson just yet.

I like this team but I’m very concerned about size especially in the forward group. You are adding another small forward that already has gaudreau and prospects like brindley and dumais. I’d rather have lindstrom and have a fantilli-lindstrom down the middle. I’d move Voronkov to wing.

Rossi is too small, with who we already have. Plus KJ has a much higher ceiling.

Habs would add a second to CBJ to do that.

Come on guys, please draft a Dman.

I really hoping the Jackets take Lindstrom unless Demidov is still there.

size is the main thing I was thinking of that would hurt if we added a guy like rossi. I'd also sign up for Fantilli - Lindstrom - Silly - Vronk for sure. That's a tough group to deal with, especially with all the speed/skill we'll have on the wings

I just dont think Rossi is a good fit for us, especially if it costs KJ. Also, If the wild are trading Rossi its because they dont think he can be their 2C, which is not a good sign for us if we are the ones trading for him to be our 2C.

No it's not. If they trade Rossi it's because they were able to get a similar player (in terms of age, upside) with more size, or they were able to get an upgrade with team control.

We already know he can be a 2C because he did it last year.

right so if we are the ones providing that upgrade, then thats not good for us.

That's not what you said. You said if the Wild trade Rossi it's because he can't be a 2C, and that's not true.

If you're trading Johnson for Rossi, first, I'm not actually sure you are providing an upgrade for Minnesota, and two, it's because you want a 2C, not a 2LW.

If you don't want to do it, that's fine with me, for the same reasons outlined above.

If the wild are trading Rossi it means they dont see him as being their 2C of the future, and instead want to leverage him to a team for an upgrade. If they are trading Rossi for KJ, then they see KJ as an upgrade. If the wild thought he was a good 2C going forward, they wouldnt trade him because thats a high value position that isnt easy to find.

This is correct with an emphasis on their 2C of the future

Maybe an upgrade, but all reports so far (from Michael Russo) state that isn't necessarily an upgrade they're looking for, it's a different fit/play style. Knies is a good example of something that would work, because despite not having the same ceiling offensively, he's bigger and plays a more physical game. He's similar in value for those reasons, but he's not an upgrade on the player.

Again, not necessarily true. He might be a better fit for the Wild if they're trading for him, but that doesn't mean he's an upgrade. They might even see him as a downgrade in some ways (defensively, lacks the physical component, is a winger vs center), but like his offensive upside a little more than Rossi's. But for the same reason Knies isn't necessarily a downgrade despite the offensive upside being lower, Johnson isn't necessarily an upgrade, despite the offensive upside being higher.

For whatever it's worth, given Guerin's proclivities, I don't see Kent Johnson on his list of targets at all.

Again, there's way more nuance to this than you're picking up. It's not that they don't think he can be a good 2C going forward, it's that they're looking for a different type of piece going forward. The reason they don't necessarily see him as their 2C of the future is because they see Yurov as the 1C of their future and Ek as the 2C. But that doesn't mean they don't see him as a 2C in the future.

As an example to illustrate this, the Wild traded Fiala, not because they didn't think he was a top 6/first line scoring winger, but because they wanted to leverage that value for a piece that they felt was a bigger need or a better fit movign forward (Faber). Fiala is still a top 6/first line scoring winger in that scenario, trading him doesn't make that not true.
