The big Canadian boys with the desire to win look to be on their way to the Cup this year! /sarcasm

The 'Dogs aren't exactly stocked with high-end offensive talent, and we'll need an offense-minded centre who has experience playing against men in case Pleks or [random UFA centre] go down with an injury. I'm not saying Johansson will be the next Zetterberg or Datsyuk, but the more prospects at center you have, the greater the likelihood of one of them being the next Zetterberg.

No.

Diminishing marginal returns.

There are 4 center spots in Montreal, 4 in Hamilton, not that many offensive wingers to go around.

Maxwell, Desharnais, and Johansson. Are there nine offensive wingers in Hamilton? Are we converting DD to wing? MJ? Do they all get 19 minutes a game and 1st unit PP like they should to develop properly?

I found this article about Johansson on La Presse, and it seems as if Detroit was once again interested in getting him back and bring to Detroit before we scooped him up. That's a good sign.

The Wings wanted Johansson

thanks for that. it should keep his detractors quiet for about five minutes. ;)

We should make a habit of trying to swoop in and steal everyone Detroit wants to sign/resign. :lol:;)

especially their drafting team. :P

Isn't LaPresse the scab newspaper? :P

I don't believe a thing they write! :lol:

The detractors will not be quieted!

Well Detroit did draft him in the 9th round in 2003.

Decent prospect, 4th leading scorer for Farjestad playing just under 17 minutes a game.

Chipchura in the nhl, Maxwell should be first line center, Johanson and Desharnais should battle for #2-3 center, Brock Trotter and Ryan White should battle for the 4th spot or winger.

rookie ahl season Ben Maxwell: 73gp--22g--36a--58pts--+6

first full ahl season David Desharnais: 77gp--24g--34a--58pts--+12

3rd ahl season Kyle chipchura: 51gp--14g--21a--35pts--+28

For a second I thought you were talking about Montreal. :lol: Then I realized you just meant that Chipchura should be in Montreal.
