Per Friedman: "It is a straight-up trade: Johansson for Staal."
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck! Come on, JR!
I really don't understand this trade for either side but BUF definitely came out ahead if it is just straight up. I have no idea what Guerin is thinking.

Actually think thats a great trade for Minny. Johanssen is a really talented younger player. They can audition him, see how he fits and decide if they want to lock him up long term or trade him out as a rental.
Could work out for Pittsburgh too when Buffalo poops the bed and flips him at the deadline.
