Carter dealt from Columbus to LA for Jack Johnson and a first. Yes. Jack "no one ever made me learn how to be a defensemen" Johnson.

How Columbus keeps letting Howson make moves is astounding.

Jackets fans love this move. I don't think Carter ever broke a sweat in a CBJ jersey and JJ say's he is excited about the opportunity to play for Columbus. It's a pretty good trade for both sides.

Ha. Hahahaha. You should have held out for Voynov. Carter could retire tomorrow and the Kings are a much better team because of this deal. JJ ranks near the bottom for pretty much every single 5x5 stat you can find among defensemen that play regularly. He's a power play specialist who is completely irresponsible in his own zone and his teams give up more shots, scoring chances and goals because he's on the ice.

Edit:
This year is [Johnson’s] fifth straight year having the worst Corsi on the team and his fourth straight year having the worst goals against rate. Entering this season, Johnson’s career goals against rate ranked 227th out of 228 NHL defensemen with 60+ games played. His career relative Corsi (the improvement in his team’s shot differential when he is on the ice) ranked 222nd out of 228, behind only Wade Belak, Jason Strudwick, Ryan Parent, Oskars Bartulis, Deryk Engelland, and Brendan Mikkelson.

Next Howson should finish the deal by giving Nash to Detroit for Ericcsson or Vancouver for Ballard.

Nash would have to be taught to backcheck, and to skate hard even when he doesn't have the puck. Good thing I don't have to worry about this though, since it's unlikely they are even talking.

Yeah, but we had to take Veilluex in the deal. Almost swings it in the Devil's favor as far as I'm concerned.

****er doesn't have a soul.

We got three guys and two picks for that crybaby. I'm not saying this was as big of a fleecing as the Eric Lindros trade, but the Wild did REALLY well here.

I know. And I really like seeing Kurtis Foster coming back.

I just hate Veilleux sooo much. He's like a pest, but without any of the good qualities. So, basically he's just a ******. Felt that way ever since he pulled this, and I never saw anything out of him since to dissuade me:

Word has it, Rangers are offering either Del Zotto or McDonagh, a 1st and a prospect (likely Tim Erixon) to Columbus for Nash. Believed to be the best offer thus far.
