He's also somewhat notorious for being a perimeter player. aka Jankowski.

Johnny looks terrible most nights- stupid passes, lazy backchecking, I agree that he doesnt have a very high hockey IQ. Can we all take some time to appreciate Derek Ryan though... that guy has been clutch all year
- Squilliam-

So your saying Ryan gets a pass and not Johnny?
Ryan played like crap the first 30 games or so, has just started to look like the Ryan from the last half of last year. It's probably no coincidence that he started playing better last year when Mang was put on his line and this year when Dube was put there.
Johnny's one of the top point producers this year but still not good enough for you? I'll admit I wish he was putting up the pts like last year but unfortunately he's not.
I don't get all this trade JG talk. Unless we're replacing him with a 80-90 point player or a younger 60-70 point player ++ i don't see the point.
Instead of just b!tching about him all the time, give us some player names of who you think they should be looking at.

Agreed. Not opposed to trading him if he wants out but if they do, the return better be significant. The reason Calgary is a bubble team is because he's having an off year. If he's playing like last year, I think the Flames are leading the pacific again. He's been back on a much better pace under Ward so hopefully he's trending in the right direction.

Ryan is a 3rd or 4th line guy... so yes he gets a pass. I just expect more out of Johnny I guess, The last few years watching Johnny, i have high expectations and something just seems off this year. I gave him the benefit of the doubt for the first quarter of the season, but now its half way through the year. As for guys I would be targetting- JGP, possibly Tofolli for the right price.

Agree. Common sense goes a long way.
Excited to see what they add with that cap space. Tre tried to add Zucker tried Kadri both of who I thought would be good additions to the core. I'm still hope it's right shooting Toffoli because I think they could sign him so wouldn't just be a rental. Our 1st should be off limits, we need to draft some more key parts.
