Adding Johanssen and pairing him with Bennett and then having Gaudreau and Monahan this team would be set for years to come.
If the Jackets would insist on Jankowski, Kylington, Porier, Hickey etc they need to be on the table

You wouldn't trade Gio for Johansen?
To me, only Gaudreau, Monahan, and Brodie actually have more value than Johansen. Gio, Hamilton and Bennett are good, but I would be surprised if most teams viewed them as more valuable than Johansen.
But yeah, I would rather give up pending UFAs, draft picks (including first rounders) and grade A prospects.
Hudler + Hickey + the 2016 first sounds like a lot, but just imagine having Johansen to play with Gaudreau and Monahan for the next 10 years...
