I can understand the need for Detroit to rebuild their AHL club, and have a future there, but Johnson is also already demoted, and is essentially a buried contract, making him a bit of a non-entity in the trade instead of negative value to even things out. Detroit could get the same result (of moving Johnson and freeing up space) just by carefully releasing AHL players with no future, and letting the clock run out on Johnson.

I see what was starting to go on here, but the trade needs to be redone. Johnson makes it look like something that it is not, and should be excluded.

If Detroit is paying full freight for Seguin's contract, that has to be taken into consideration as well.

Johnson gone and the cheese gone, I think you would have gotten more 'yeses', so that value discrepancy needs to be taken care of. All of the bits that are essentially not the core of the trade.
