I don't think some of the so-called best players are committed to doing what they need to on and off the ice to win. It's easy to hate to lose, it's hard to commit to winning. I think Johnny isn't committed to winning. And I think teams have figured out how to play him and he hasn't shown an ability to adjust.
And I view him as the organization's most valuable trade chip to address the roster gaps. But it has to happen this summer to capitalize.
I like the D including the youth of it. And I think there's a lot of other good pieces up front, and specifically Tkachuk.
But i would be moving Johnny.
