Todd Cordell: On Marcus Johansson and finding the optimal top-4
- Todd.Cordell


Johansson is a great player, well rounded and defensively responsible. We certainly need him to round off our top 6, as our depth is not great. As for D:

Mueller Vats
Butch Severson
Yak Santini

Time to give the younger guys more time. LJ wouldn't crack most AHL lineups, and I am perplexed how he keeps showing up on that roster. Greene is simply too slow. I have alot of respect for our captain, but he is simply out of place this year. Always playing catch-up and scrambling. He helped Severson out a couple years ago, but has no place as a top 4 TOI D-man in my opinion. With Ty Smith ripping up the WHL, and likely the Canada World Junior team, We may have a star LD to round off a young d-core going forward.

It looks like the team changed something defensively from the last game. The D positioning was much better. And there weren't any bad pinches I could remember. Maybe the D is being reigned back a little.

Is that what this is about or legit injured? Either way, poor guy. Such talent and career really never took off.

No, it definitely isn't mental illness. They say that he tweaked something and it turned out to be worse than what they thought.

Cory get mystery illness and then watch gs sent to AHL ( no waivers on IR ) to get his game back. thats a good GM.
MOJO looks good needs a center

Hall- Nico - Palmieri
Mojo - Zajac - Bratt
Quenneville - Zacha - Coleman
Boyle - Seney - Wood
