If Johnny leaves my #1 target would be Kadri (more than Forsberg). Yes he refused a trade here but that was more about him thinking by refusing that trade he could stay in Toronto.
I would go to him and say "You know we want you here. We made a trade for you a couple years ago. Our desire to have you here has only increased. We think you are exactly what our team needs and we think you will love it here and our fans will love you".
Kadri, Lindholm, Backlund up the middle.

Interesting pick. I'm always curious who people would name IF Johnny were to not return - who's even a decent replacement?!
One could argue you could potentially sign a really good player with more grit which Kadri provides (for the record I'm all about signing Johnny).
