Didn’t realize he was still playing.

@Viqsi your shutdown dman!

Pens buyout of his is a higher AAV next season.

 

[ZJuice]

I am still mad at his parents for what they did!

 

[Viqsi]

So does he take back #7 from last time or does he opt to go with his normal #3?

I have other questions but they mostly consist of screaming.

 

[Viqsi]

@Viqsi your shutdown dman!

JMFJ is fine in a 6/7 role. Can still skate well for his age and is tremendous in the locker room.

You could do worse.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

The bluejacket legend JJ returns. Maybe they now bring Rick Nash out of retirement.

 

[Quinning]

It feels like he has been in the league for 25 years.

 

[Fro]

Now bring back Carts!

 

[Crosstraffic]

Didn't the fans in Columbus treat him poorly near the end of his time there?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Long time Blue Jacket alternate captain is back.

Jack Johnson 1,187 regular season games played.

 

[ThisIsMyAlibi]

Does this even cover the annual interest on his debt?

 

[Turin]

This man was getting healthy scratched by the Blue Jackets a whole 6 years ago

[Avs9296]

That's Stanley Cup Champion Jack Mother f***ing Johnson to you!

Best signing of the free agency. Also can't wait until the Avs trade for him next deadline!

 

[Viqsi]

Didn't the fans in Columbus treat him poorly near the end of his time there?

He made some snarky comments about "winning culture" after the move to Pittsburgh and so there may have been some bitterness sent his way as a result.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

How does he keep getting work

 

[BrickNHL]

How does he keep getting work

Because he’s a solid as hell bottom pairing defenseman?!? Also a great teammate

 

[squashmaple]

He lives here year round. He literally had his Cup day here. He’s a fantastic teammate and by all accounts a great guy. I want that in a locker room of kids. Plus this is dead cheap with no risk. If it doesn’t work, you waive him and lose no sleep. I like this one.
