Let’s hope this goes like the Nichushkin signing in 2019.

That thread and this one is running in parallel.

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.

Well, he's only 34, so who knows, he may be inspired to give his all. At least see what he's like in a few pre-season games.

I honestly feel this current roster is more balanced than last season. Not sure losing Saad (and point per game Newhook was his equal pretty well), and Donskoi are really going to hurt us too much.

Relax, Sakic hasn't signed him to an actual contract. The capspace is still very much available.

Besides, even IF he did get a contract his caphit wouldn't be higher than other 7D's so the impact on our cap structure would be zero. The only issue would be that he's worse than our other 7D options.
Even if he did get signed there’s no way he’s making more than basically league minimum.

Newhook is not Saad's equal. An 8 game sample is not indicative of a full season and playoffs.

We have alot of injury prone defenseman so is a motivated JJ the worst thing in the world? Thats assuming he can make the team in the first place. Yall are acting like we signed him to an 8 year extension lol

If it's not here, it'll be somewhere else but he's going to get an NHL contract as a 7/8 defensemen.

GM's feel sorry for this guy and the amount of money he's lost. They are going to do whatever they can to rectify that and help him make as much money back as possible, even if it's on league minimum contracts so long as Johnson is still willing to play hockey.

This move is only nine years overdue.

When everyone has been projecting Colorado's second pairing to be Girard-Johnson, little did they know... :sarcasm:

Avs assalytics department finally got their guy.

After all the rumors surrounding Seth Jones, the Avs end up adding two other Blue Jackets defensemen.

I was surprised to find out Goloubef, Hejda, Holden, Johnson, Murray, Tyutin never played on the same Columbus team simultaneously.

Wherever I'm standing atm
It's a PTO...The same things were said about Nichushkin. How about we just wait to see what he looks like in camp/preseason?
Came just to say goid on your GM for not blowing significant cap on a guy literally no other GM was signing. Then I saw this post..

I never understand when I see a comment like this. Why come to a discussion board and then go "let's not discuss this until he's such a sure thing (for good or bad) that we basically have nothing to discuss"

What else did you wanna do here on this discussion forum? What else is there to do in this specific thread you clicked on in order to discuss the player?
