CBJ: Johansen
EDM: Hall

Edmonton needs a centre, CBJ needs scoring wingers.
Johansen will likely walk to free agency if he sticks with Columbus.
Hall will likely walk to free agency if he sticks with Edmonton.
Edmonton has enough depth on the wings to give one up
Columbus has enough depth down the middle to give one up.
Both players are very capable of carrying the team & both could use a change of scenery.

Thoughts?

1.) 20 Dec 2014
I wouldn't give up my number 1 center if I was Columbus.

2.) 20 Dec 2014
Johansen has 2 more years on his deal and he'll be an RFA again. He's not walking anywhere.

3.) 20 Dec 2014
But after that, he'll be highly inclined to take a 1 year deal, & walk to free agency after it. Negotiations went sour between Columbus & johansen.
