That's the impression I get too, but 2 year term (I know it's for injury reasons) does line up perfectly with when Casey should be ready for that role Does anyone know which wing side he plays? If it's LW that's a pretty big indication he's our 2C IMO. Plus, if he is, maybe we can get Ehlers now through Risto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't mean to compare their quality as players, just the "always listed as a W/C and you shouldn't just pencil them into C and you should try to get an established 2C anyway" type of thing. I can't say I know much of anything about Johansson other than I wanted him when the Devils signed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki shows him as a Left Wing (not that Wiki is a prime source of hockey info). Hockey Reference has him listed simply as C/W. Elite Prospects sez LW.

Kr632 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) I’m fine with him as short term 2c. Give mitts and cozens time to develop. If mitts or say Reinhart beat him out there, great. I wouldn’t stop my pursuit for someone better though. If he’s listed as LW idk if that makes sense. We have more than enough LWs Edited July 6, 2019 by Kr632 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) He broke into the league with the Caps as a center, but his faceoff [attempts] dropped year by year. He's been a winger exclusively the last few seasons. As for the player, there's the health worry (concussions), but the term is fantastic, the pricetag is good, and he is definitely middle 6. Logjam on the left wing. Edited July 6, 2019 by DarthEbriate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, he has played every forward position in the NHL, but really only played center when the Caps were stretched pretty thin. I'll be surprised if this is their answer at 2C.

Gatorman0519 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 He had 58 points with the Caps 3 years back until the injury bug hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 I hope he can at least play RW. Does anyone know his style of play at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
