This will be ripped but as a fill in dman on a 100+ point team I think it will be fine

But in all seriousness, good for Jack in the sense that I hope he can hang on as long as he can in the show to earn back a little more of what his parents did to him... Although, I find it surprising every time that a team believes they can cover for his glaring flaws.

 

[JoeSakic13]

I will admit I rolled my eyes when Colorado gave him a PTO, but he’s been good enough to be a depth piece. Glad they’re keeping him around.

 

[Hasbro]

It’s short and cheap.

[Dumais]

Good signing @ 750k. Great locker room guy and has a ton of experience.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

Experienced. Injury fill in. When the team healthy he’s going to be eating a lot of nachos. Cap disappears if he gets sent down.

JOE SAKIC DOES IT AGAIN

 

[Hasbro]

The Penguins are paying JJ more this season.

I mean the Breckenridge Brewery nachos come with avocado already included. You gotta feel like this was a big part of why he decided to sign.

Colorado fans are optimistic now. Over /under on 15.5 games before they want to launch him into the usn?

The U.S. Navy?!?

 

[Foppberg]

It's fine. Just keep your parents away Jack.

 

[LASTAR]

Is Grubauer correct? Has the Avs window passed them by? On paper, they seem noticeably thinner, and worse to me, this signing included.

He won't be in the line up once Toews is healthy.

I didn’t see that quote, but if he did say that I’m sure it’s quantifying why he jumped ship. I mean the guy left a squad with MacKinnon and Makar for a squad with Wennberg and Giordano. Not that the latter two are bad players, but it’s hard to argue which two are stronger.

No the window is not closed. Not in the slightest.

I'd laugh, but it's just... no..

 

[Romang67]

Has JJ taken over Tanner Glass's position in the league as the guy who's always up there in discussions about the worst player in the league who still, inexplicably, keeps getting signed to new contracts?

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Subtraction by addition.

Won't happen until the playoffs, where he'll be this season's Nemeth. Then we'll be calling NASA for their best rockets.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Every fan hates him and every GM wants him.

 

[SML2]

My sources tell me Jack Johnson can hack into the browser history of all NHL GMs and because of that will continue to receive 1 yr deals even though he has the skill of an ECHL defenseman.

And Gudbranson makes it a three horse race

Windows are hard to judge, and by no means is their window closed. But in the NHL you don't have more than a few seasons as arguably the leagues best team before players decline, holes open up and cap space is an issue. This is the start of that process. All competitive teams slowly bleed depth first, then lose key players and have holes in their lineup until it becomes too much to overcome.

Personally, not sold on their depth or goaltending this season. We'll see but I don't think they miss the playoffs and once there they can win it all like any other team.
