Even though they made the Final and later won the Presidents Trophy with him, I feel like they went awry when they traded for Johansen. Since then, Jones has become a perennial Norris contender (I think he would've won it had he not gotten injured) whereas Johansen has kinda landed in the doghouse. He's got a rep for taking some nights off during the regular season.
Interesting they still ended up with Duchene after all that, though I'm more than happy with Sammy Girard. Wonder what the Preds would look like had they just kept Jones and Girard and looked to deal one of their other guys?
In any event, I've no love for the Preds, especially since P.K. left, so get 'em, Habs.
