Well Chuck Fletcher did walk away from Dan Fritsche after playing 50 games(34 with the Wild) in 08-09 and over 200 more in the 3 seasons prior. He actually left a better impression on me than Johnson, simply because of the versatility, speed, and defensive/PK ability.

dan who? wow don't remember that guy at all.

[Dee Oh Cee]

Really? He had a ton of speed...did we pick him up from NYR? He had a few good moments but nothing significant.

I remember multiple games where the Powe - Brodziak - Johnson line was the best line on the ice. Johnson started going down hill when he was asked to fill in a top 6, sometimes top 3, role.

Johnson was top ******* in my book. He did all that was asked for him. We knew he wouldn't be much more. And he didn't produce much less.

[Jarick]

Except for the second half of the season when he wasn't playing well offensively or defensively, and got scratched.

That's the only moment I remember from him with the Wild.
