Marcus Johansson Sent to Boston for a Pair of Picks
6 years agoNew Jersey Devils forward Marcus Johansson has been traded to the Boston Bruins for a 2019 second round pick and a 2020 fourth round pick. Johansson has been living outside of the realm of fantasy relevance due to injuries and limited production the last couple years, but with seven points in his last six games and the move to Boston, things are looking up for him. He likely slots into a middle six role in Boston which will give him more productive linemates to work with than he has had recently. Johansson has also increased his shot generation, registering 2.14 shots per game which is well above his career average of 1.53 shots per game. So while 28-year-old forward is not likely to have a sudden breakout, his situation has not looked so promising in quite some time.
