If Lindholm ends up going to Colorado I really think Johansen is coming back as part of the package. That's not a bad thing either IMO, he's not great but someone has to play 2/3C next year and the last thing we need is an expensive UFA. I'd rather get paid to take Johansen and have him playing a contract year. In a bizarro world maybe he clicks with Huberdeau. Then next deadline he can get retained down to 2M AAV and traded if the Flames are out again.
