Pierre McGuireGUEST
You know, Zach Werenski's a University of Michigan guy.
Pierre McGuireGUEST
Kent Johnson's a University of Michigan guy.
Pierre McGuireGUEST
Fantilli's a University of Michigan guy.
Pierre McGuireGUEST
Like, they got a tie in the University of Michigan.
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
It feels apropos.
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
What do you think the best-case scenario is for Fantilli and Cousins? If Fantilli could level up this year, would probably need some corresponding great years from Marchenko or Nichushkin or even a Kent Johnson or somebody to play alongside.
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
Power play would have to get figured out.
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
If all that happened, I could see him being like 75 points with great peripherals and just smashing.
TonyHOST
Seven centers is a lot.
TonyHOST
You've got Charlie Coyle, Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson, Isaac Lundestrom, Sean Monahan, Cole Sillinger, and Owen Sillinger.
TonyHOST
That's crowded.
TonyHOST
Cole Sillinger just signed a three-year, $13.875 million deal to avoid arbitration, which shows they value him.
TonyHOST
It guarantees him opportunity.
TonyHOST
I think Cole Sillinger will battle for a bottom six role, maybe pairing with someone like Isaac Lundestrom.
TonyHOST
Adam Fantilli and Kent Johnson are the top-tier talents here, likely competing for top six minutes.
TonyHOST
Charlie Coyle provides veteran leadership and two-way play.
Dimitri FilipovicHOST
They're gonna get a, a full season of Conor Garland here.
Dimitri FilipovicHOST
The young players, guys like Kent Johnson, will probably bounce back.
Dimitri FilipovicHOST
I like what I saw from Denton Mateychuk last year, so I think there is room for improvement, um, in net as well with Jack Greaves.
Dimitri FilipovicHOST
But it does also feel like a precarious spot because I'm just alarmed, I guess, by everything involving Don Waddell and, and Rick Bowness, and I feel like the, the worst-case scenario seems more attainable here for me for this group than, than them kind of putting it all together and having a dream season.
Marco D'AmicoHOST
And then you have Dmitry Voronkov, Kirill Marchenko, Olivier Matty, which they would be crazy to trade.
Marco D'AmicoHOST
Miles Wood, that would make a little bit more sense, and Kent Johnson.
Marco D'AmicoHOST
None of the players that I mentioned to you make more than 4.1 million.
Sean StarrHOST
Mm-hmm.
Marco D'AmicoHOST
Like, even Kent Johnson makes 1.8. You don't, you don't trade that right now.
Marco D'AmicoHOST
And even defensively, Werenski has a no move.
Marco D'AmicoHOST
We know Provorov has a no move.
Arpon BasuHOST
Uh, but you know, they have those guys.
Arpon BasuHOST
Kent Johnson was not drafted that long ago.
Arpon BasuHOST
You know, like they, I mentioned Matejcek earlier.
Arpon BasuHOST
That's, like this is, this is, these are the years where you're supposed to be coming out of that reset.
BrookeHOST
Second, the goaltending battle between Greaves and Merzlikens.
BrookeHOST
And third, the center ice log jam that includes Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson, and our newest long-term man, Cole Sillinger.
TonyHOST
And we're also gonna touch on those bold predictions we made over the last few days, specifically regarding Kirill Marchenko's scoring on opening night against Buffalo.
TonyHOST
It's all coming up.
TonyHOST
It allows him to focus on his development rather than worrying about his job security every night.
BrookeHOST
Let's talk about the center ice log jam.
BrookeHOST
Ad Hockey Nerd 42 asks, We have Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson, Cole Sillinger, Charlie Coyle, Sean Monahan, and even Owen Sillinger, who starts on the first line.
BrookeHOST
And how do you balance the roles?
Brian CheesemanGUEST
You know, Devin Levi was a backup goalie for us that year.
Brian CheesemanGUEST
Kid in Columbus now, Johnson, Kent Johnson.
Brian CheesemanGUEST
So it was it was a really good mix of players and a great group of guys.
Brian CheesemanGUEST
And, you know, we had Claude Julien was our coach that year.
Blake CreamerHOST
Let's start in Columbus, the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Blake CreamerHOST
And we got, uh, you know, someone we've talked about in the past here, Louie, Kent Johnson.
Blake CreamerHOST
I've been talking about this man for a few years, and I felt vindicated when he came out and had that amazing season there.
Blake CreamerHOST
I think it was a 69-point pace, uh, a couple years ago.
Blake CreamerHOST
But yeah, then just fell off the map last year, um, for, for a multitude of reasons.
Blake CreamerHOST
I mean, it was kind of [laughs], it was kind of horrific what happened to him there.
Blake CreamerHOST
And, and I think, you know, if, if people are looking at the box score with Kent Johnson, yeah, it, it looks bad, right? But there was a lot of things that went into last year.
Blake CreamerHOST
I mean, this is a guy that lost 10 to 12 pounds in season.
Darren BrownHOST
Well, and at one point we said, what was the one for one trade we were proposing?
Curtis IsackeHOST
W- Kent Johnson.
Darren BrownHOST
Kent Johnson.
Darren BrownHOST
Yeah.
Curtis IsackeHOST
Yeah.
