Sorry, I meant Jack Johnson himself. So why not give him a shot. This is a very smart / astute opportunity for all involved. Love to see Parise given the same opportunity.
Okay see,
this is an example of wearing burgundy-colored glasses.
Yeah, it's just a PTO, but if--heaven forbid--JJ actually
signs, then it's an indictment on Joe's (and/or the Pro scouts') ability to adequately evaluate talent.
Jack, as much a his personal story re: his parents f***ing him over financially breaks my heart,
is not a good NHL hockey player anymore. Hell, he might not even be a good AHL player at this point.
Obviously the games have to be played, but to me it's looking more and more like last year might have been their best shot at a Cup, and what we're seeing is Joe hanging on to this MacKinnon-contract window before having to re-tool when he re-ups.
