This guy makes Taylor Hall look like Mark Messier captain material in comparison.

Don't think this is a fair comparison. A middling, notorious NHLer with a now public addiction issue and overall general trainwreck. VS:
A top centre who may be out of shape and wants top dollar and supposedly has motivation and work ethic issues.
You can fix bad nutrition, motivation with the right kind of guidance (Not Torts).
As for Hall based on some stories I've heard about their times in junior, he had more in common with Kassian than Johansen does.
