I am not a huge JJ fan, but if you are asking me who I would rather have play 12-15 min in a playoff game it is JJ every time.
Englund could be a guy that plays the 6/7 role for a few years in the NHL, or he could never see an NHL game again after this year. There was some stuff in his game you liked, but lots you did not.
If you watch Avs hockey and follow the team, it is easy to see that this team does indeed rely a lot on chemistry, fit, and loyalty. Maybe to a fault, bit it is what has gotten them here.

I don't understand this trade from either perspective. Hawks lose a supreme tank commander. Are the Avs making a late season push for Bedard???

Possible move so he finishes his career with the Avs after winning the Cup last season?
given what his parents did to him I'm always happy to see Johnson is still playing. From a purely hockey perspective though I can't say I get it.

RIP Fugu
Yeah, there really isn't anything else to be said
The faster Hawk fans can forget Jack Johnson the better

Lol he's just so bad. He's an offensive bottom pairing guy that doesn't put up points. Every pinch is a great pinch in his eyes.

On what end of that scale do you place the moment when he ran his own goalie in his first game?
I think Avs fans are well aware of what he is. He doesn’t need to be pinching in Colorado and he really didn’t when he was here.

By all accounts he's a great guy and if Avs fans are happy I'm happy. He was atrocious for the Blackhawks.

If he is the tank commander you say that he is, I can only hope the Habs give up a 2nd to aquire him from Colorado.
A 2nd for Bedard. Not bad, not bad.

I was so confused because I thought JMFJ played for Colorado. Now that I realize what happened, I'm even more confused.

He wouldn't have gotten minutes in a healthy Colorado this year.
Hawks were the best way to keep JJ logging minutes without risking him to waivers.

Englund becomes the active leader in career GP without a goal, and Colorado ships him out!
Ruthless!

This thread has 60 less pages than the Meier trade. Nobody is worried that the current champs are loading up for another run?
