Johansson on the Block?

Some intrigue today in Washington, where forward​

Marcus Johansson

missed practice with what the Capitals are calling an upper-body injury.​

Johansson was a healthy scratch in Saturday’s 5-0 victory over Florida, and according to CSNWashington.com’s Chuck Gormley, “trade rumors are beginning to swirl about the 22-year-old Swede.”​

As the Washington Post notes, it’s unclear how Johansson was hurt.​

The 24th overall pick in the 2009 draft was criticized by head coach Adam Oates for his play Thursday against the Penguins.​

“We need more execution and didn’t get enough in Pittsburgh,” said Oates.​

Johansson has just one goal and four shots in nine games. He had 46 points in 80 games last season.​

hmmm.

What would they get in return anyways ? I don't know this guy a lot cause I haven't seen a caps game in a longtime but like they ain't getting anything that would help them be better for him

Unfortunately for them, Marcus Johansson isn't the Caps problem

 

[Phil The Thrill]

It's honestly time to completely overhaul this team. Amnesty Green at season's end and work from there.
