Johnny is a fantastic player and it's been good to see him rewarded on the score sheet. With a new coaching staff and a system that plays more to our strenghts it would certainly not be out of the question to see him take yet another step the next couple of years. The only real issue I have with Johnny is that he makes a bunch of very high risk-very low reward plays each and every game, getting cute and giving up breakaways and odd man rushes when he could just have made a really easy play to create better results than he was gunning for in the first place. His give-away leading to the Senators penalty shot last game, and his botched zone entry during the last minute against the Islanders leading to the EN goal are prime examples of that flaw. I appreciate that he has to play with that edge to be as effective as he is, but I wish he would at least make a few more judgement calls and take his chances on high risk-potential high reward plays, instead of taking that kind of risks at pretty meh opportunities. Iron those issues out and Johnny will be a damn near perfect hockey player.
