Hypothetically, and because I am bored, What would Ryan Johansson cost the Leafs?

I would assume JVR would be the focal point of the return, because his contract (skill vs. cap hit) is one of the best in the league. But would it have to be JVR and Kadri? That seems a little expensive to me.

The perfect partner for Dion, he will cover up for Phaneufs mistakes by chipping the puck out, no more Dion chasing a player through to the Zamboni entrance.
- LeafMan

Wasn't that what Gunnarsson was supposed to do? I have this crazy thought maybe Phaneuf isn't as bad as we think and he's suffering from having to carry bottom pairing/AHL defenseman as his partners.

Apparently the pairings they will try first during camp/preseason will be:

Phaneuf-Polak
Gardiner-Robidas
Rielly-Franson

Or so Siegel says.

Yeah that worked out last year alright..

Probably Kadri and 1st. If we are giving up JVR it's Columbus who would be adding not us.

I don't know about that second part, Yeti. Centre is the premium position.

Yes true but I think the Johanssen value is higher, do I necessarily agree not really but potential is higher and it would take an overpayment to get him.

Because Johanssen is bigger and more defensive?

Kadri has 113 pts in 177 games

Johanssen has 96 pts in 189 games

A center that has had one good season and another season where he was being a healthy scratch in the AHL. Also you have to consider JVR has an amazing contract as well.

You would have to overpay to pry him away from Columbus. My thought was who along with JVR, as I stated he would be the centrepiece of any legitimate offer in my opinion. You would think you'd have to replace the centre, Kadri would be an overpayment, Holland an underpayment.

I said I didn't agree with it dammit. It just seems his value is really high because of last season.

JVR should be and imo is worth more than RJ.

I did, haha. I just think if I'm a Columbus fan, I'd want JVR+, and as a Leaf fan I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay that.

Guess the conclusion I'm arriving at is there doesn't seem to be a deal both parties would be happy with. At least not one I can think of.

I agree with that and the fact that he is clearly over-burdened with his ice-time.

Yet that opens the can of worms about his contract.

I don't know if it's the ice time or the fact he plays so much while having to do his job plus some or the other guys and having forwards that don't know what defense is.

JVR has only really had the one good season, and I have to disagree that he is worth more than Johansson.

Okay one really good season but has also a had a couple decent seasons. RJ hasn't even had another decent season.
