Maybe they'll spin this into one of those Tiger commercials…

In regards to Johansen from the Clb blog:

On Monday GM Jarmo Kekalainen chimed in saying if Johansen isn't signed by camp he's not allowed near the facility and they'll move on without him. On Tuesday John Davidson had some stronger words for Overhardt.

Via TheHockeyNews: “It makes no sense, Davidson said. “When you see numbers that are thrown at us, we shouldn’t even respond. That’s how bad it is. It’s embarrassing. And if the kid sits out, he sits out. I wonder if the agent’s going to pay him his money back that he’s going to lose by sitting out.

“With the numbers they come back with…are so one-sided it’s nonsensical. It’s extortion is what it is. I don’t make this stuff up. I’ve been in this league doing this for a long time now and this one here, it’s baffling is what it is. This one’s baffling. Baffling.”

A clearly frustrated Davidson wasn't done there, though.

“If we ever caved to what (Overhardt) is demanding, we’ll all get fired,” Davidson said. “And I take it personal. I don’t understand it. I take it very personal. What’s he trying to do, get us fired? What’s he trying to do? I don’t understand what he’s trying to do.”

Oh boy, oh boy. Benning work your magic!

Agreed Benning get going if there is anyway possible to keep boho as well do it if not thats ok.

Imagine This Team through center

Sedin, Johansen, Horvat, Bonino, Vey, McCann Richardson Mathias wow

Sedin Sedin Vrbata
Bonino Johansen Kassian (wow)
Horvat Vey Burr
Higgy Richie Mathias
Dorsett

Wow

If Johansen is actually available right now Benning better be ready to back up the truck full of assets to make it happen. These guys almost never become available. Big, skilled, first line centers to build your team around for years are basically impossible to acquire. I'd say no single asset in the Canucks organization should be untouchable in a trade for Johansen.

Poor Davidson taking it personal, not like teams ever try to shaft players and then tell the player not to take it personal because it's just a business.

Some of those guys would be moved to acquire Johansen, but at least we will have the centre for the new #1 line for Vantel

I'd make a "Kessel" like offer to CBJ for RyJo. But I doubt even 2 1st and 2nd would land him.

I wonder if Bonino would be included if Benning makes an offer or if he'd be moved to 3LC(like he should be on a contender).
