Ryan Johansen is on another planet.

2 years ago he was flubbing between the AHL and the NHL, not deserving of a position on the big club.

He had one good year, to earn a new contract, IMO in the range of $4 - $5 per over 2 years, likely settling on 4.5M.

And he comes into negotiations wanting over $7 per on a long term deal. Then drops to $6.5M, and states that if he doesn't get that he'd leaving town on a bus with Kurt Overhardt.

I'd sit him for the season, not pay him, then trade him near the end or middle of the season.

In all seriousness what do the canucks have to offer if it would come down to us trading RJ away.
- Alexzanki



Guessing the Jackets would want one of Virtanen/Horvat for sure, 2015 first is likely a given, not sure what the Jackets needs are to fill the third piece.

I'm not even a fan of the Jackets. But these youngsters running the show like this ruins the league for others.

The lockouts aren't just the owners fault.

And I am a huge RJ fan, love him on my team, but as soon as I see that me me me attitude, it's hard to support.

Maybe he hates Columbus so much he'd rather sit a year and get traded than not get overpaid to play there?

This is just speculation, there were never any rumors he wanted out.

Such Canadian POVs. Columbus isn't the undesireable destination it was a few years ago, they have a ton of momentum as a team/organization.

Ok. To stir up some controversy and conversation (same thing on this site), who are the top five centers in the NHL?
Crosby, Toews, Malkin, Datsyuk, Stamkos.

But its Ohio, and there's no reason to like Ohio.

John Davidson said the agent's demands was basically extortion. Do you extort money from the organization you want to play for?

Are these in order? Cause if you, you may have opened up a poop storm with Malkin falling to fifth.
