I'm actually a big fan of Kent Johnson - that could be his path.

Nyquist to Flames for a 4th

Laine is a better goal scorer than Tkachuk

Incoming 92 assist season for Johnny G. lol

But he's Canadian so in a few years we get him after he refuses to re-sign there?

I’d take it hahahahaha

8.7M AAV? Seems really high for someone as inconsistent as Laine

They are betting huge on Johnny and him having chemistry.

Well, you could say that they're taking a one Laine road and seeing where that takes them

[flamesrule_kipper34]

8.7M is super high for that term and someone who's one-dimensional.

He's awful defensively too.

Good for him, he'll inflate his #'s with JG and then someone will overpay him when he leaves in 4.

Barring injury he should be able to eclipse 50 goals on a regular basis playing with Gaudreau.

I remember when Johnny was supposed to help us sign people... The turntables have truly turned

Yup, Kent Johnson is going to be a star.

Regardless of who’s at centre I think Johnny is going to have a hard time even flirting with the +64 he put up last year; liane is a tire fire on half of the ice surface and the BJ’s don’t really implore that same tactful checking brand of hockey Sutter was known for. I think Johnny will see a surge in PP points but a decrease in his overall effectiveness 5v5.

Doesn't help that they have the pair of streakiest goalies in the league... or at least that's my impression from fantasy hockey over the past few seasons, haha.

[BlindMilwaukee]

Hahah same here Icon. So unreliable for my fantasy team.

Best passer at passing up opportunities to defend.

Good thing goals aren't everything.

Too high of an AAV.
