Sergei Bobrovsky Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Ever since Ehrhoff has left we really never replaced him. If Edler ends up not becoming offensively good enough to QB a PP(which he can but only time will tell), we need to fill our vacant QB need on the PP via trade if we ever want to become a team we once was. As the Sedins are not getting any younger. Jack Johnson comes to mind. He can skate,hit,has great skill and can most importantly, move the puck. He can also shoot the puck very well time to time. Johnson has great decision makings in his own end that will give his teammates a fast transition game and move the puck up the ice efficiently out of his end and into the opponents blue line, even if being fore checked. Whether its a quick pass to his winger or he takes it in himself protecting the puck like a Mama bear and her cub. He works the point well on the PP and with his good and hard shot and very good passing ability, that duo is just a nightmare for any PK line. He can be a set up man for Kes,Garrison or Edler or even one of our forwards with a slap pass. He is a PP specialist, he can make good things happen. With his complete puck moving ability,OFFENSIVE upside(at least more than edler's), with the talent surrounding him and being young he can definitely become a QB on the PP, if he isn't one already. The only cons about receiving Johnson is two things. His plus/minus and we get another LH dman. I am not too worried with his plus/minus if he becomes a Canuck. Confident it will no way be worse then his past plus/minus stats. Him being a LH dman, another LH dman is going to have to live with playing on the right side. It happens a lot with a lot of other teams in the NHL and that defensive line is completely fine. Maybe with a new coach and coaching system that will change the liking for that LH dman playing on the right side. Hammer-Edler Johnson-Juice (Toews you better keep your head up) Garrison-Tanev/Corrado So what do you think we have to give up in a trade to receive Jack Johnson if Edler doesn't live up to become a PP QB?

euphoria/ Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 bieksa, jensen and a 1st. imo Johnson is too valuable for the BJs to give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Jeff Carter lol jk He's still young at 26, good puck moving physical d-man, basically brings the whole package. Good thing is he has about a 4.3m cap hit meaning he'll cost more in terms of what we'd have to give up. I'm guessing a d-man in return, Bieksa, a bottom 6 forward, Weise? a prospect [b- - c+ level] Corrado? and likely a pick. Bieksa, Weise, Corrado, 1st something along the lines of that but likely more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-47 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Is overrated and not worth it... I'd pick any of Edler, Hamhuis, Bieksa, Garrison over Johnson and would be much happier with a first round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 If there are any players that have untouchable status on Columbus it's Gaborik, Johnson, and Bob. He'd cost too much and he is a big part of their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logic Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 He is overrated. But if we were going to bolster our defense, I would consider sending Booth and a fourth round pick for Johnson and a sixth round pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missioncanucksfan Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Not to mention he will soak every penny he can grab come UFA time.... Could be the 2nd time he stands in center ice and fingers the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Given the BJ's history related to drafting and prospect development (Only 1 all star ever in franchise history) I imagine they would only move him for a player with a big name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baka Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 LOL 2 first round picks and the Canucks toughest D man for a guy who was expendable by the Kings. If he was that valuable the Kings would not have traded him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanucks25 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 JJ7 was amazing for the Blue Jackets last season, really embraced being the #1 guy. No reason why they'd let go of a two-way D-man like that when they are trying to make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
