Amidst all of the defensemen drama in the Lone Star State this season, Stephen Johns seems determined to not have his name come up in the discussion.
When Jim Nill made the move to acquire Patrick Sharp and Stephen Johns in the summer of 2015, many around the team justifiably believed that Sharp was going to be the impact player of the two. Although there weren’t many, there were a few people who believed we would look back on this trade as the “Stephen Johns Trade” and not the “Patrick Sharp Trade”.
It looks like they may be right.
