Reply With QuoteI hate to beat the "new coach" drum but I would wait to see if Sutter can implement a new system that Johnson will thrive under before dumping him. He definitely has the skill and I'd want to have him if/when it comes out.
Jack Johnson
Hey guys...need some advice. I've been pretty patient with Jack Johnson (and Gagne) for quite some time now. With just about 40% of the season completed, is it time to dump JJ? His +/- is killing me, along with his lack of scoring. My only hope is that Darryl Sutter sparks LA's offence. Here are the best available options in FA:
Sheldon Souray, Christian Ehrhoff, Cam Fowler, Fedor Tyutin, Erik Johnson, Ryan Whitney

Thanks.

I'd recommend waiting, too. Sutter should give that entire team the kick in the pants it needs to improve all around.
I watched the game last night and I thought JJ was one of the worst players on the ice for either team. He gave the puck away a half dozen times and got none of his shots through on the PP. He was brutal imo. That being said I would still give it a couple games into the new coach's tenure before you make a decision. Richards is back this week as well. He seems to be the spark to that teams offence.

grammar Nazi
Noun
(slang, idiomatic) 1. A person who habitually corrects or criticizes the language usage of others, especially in situations where it is unnecessary, e.g. an informal conversation.
Notes: This behavior is almost always found in people with very low I.Q's, whom have a very low sense of self worth. Impotence is also commonly linked to Grammar Nazi's.
I agree to be a little more patient, but I also must say that if you think Sutter's new system is going to include allowing JJ and his 10+ giveaways and free wheeling act to roll all over the place......you might be waiting awhile.
In a keeper..I'd look towards Fowler.
Good luck!
