I think that Avs had to get better in their zone....and getting Johnson starts that. Though I don't know McClement, he is reportedly a defensive minded. In short, I think the Blues went offense and the Avs went defense.
To get someone like Johnson, you are going to have to give something up....and they did. Are they taking a chance, YES....but what they have is not working. You are going to struggle when you need 4 goals to get a win....
The group of guys the Avs have(had) are A TON of fun to watch on one side of the ice....
I assume that 1st round pick will be next year, so let's hope the Blues continue to struggle a year from now.
