Thread: 2019 Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MathJock97</b></div><div>Overall i feel that a lot of the moves make sense. Miles Wood is projecting to be a solid middle 6 forward, but you have to give something to get something and Hamilton is worth the risk (assuming whatever personality issues seem to be plaguing him wherever he goes). I also feel that the Johansson extension is pretty risky. That is a steep cap hit with relatively long term implications should his injury history persist.</div></div>

I was very hesitant on the Johansson extension for those reasons, but given the Devils cap space, need for puck possession forwards and lack of them in the market, it almost felt necessary. I wouldn't mind the Devils trading him, but unless he goes on a tear for the rest of the season, it will feel like they're selling low regardless of and because of injury issues. You're right that it is very risky, and hopefully Shero makes the right decision for the team in the long run.
