Waived: D Jack Johnson

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Pretty much this was expected.

For all the gnashing of teeth, we did talk about how his tenure was likely to be relatively short, especially if other options emerged.

That’s more or less where we are at.

He served his purpose.

I don't see anything that Johnson could do better than Hajek. Hajek has been quite solid as a bottom pairing defenseman.

I would say this is close to being indisputable. That being said, he had a few serviceable games and even a good game or two.

Yep. I don't get the JJ hate. He's a decent #7 who can fill in now and then and his time is almost up, here. Let's all just move on as the sooner we accept that, the sooner we can relax and find other people to irrationally hate.

Move on? What's that?
See: Brian Boyle, Brassard, Fast, ADA....

First rule of HFNYR, the grass is always greener. Unless our grass is cut and moved somewhere else, in which case that grass is the greenest

Praise Allah.

If there is one thing that brings the fanbase together, it’s thinking Jack Johnson is ass

The rare case where everyone knew he sucked. Said he would suck and then watched him suck.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Waiver period of 30 days perfectly lines up with the trade deadline, whereafter there is no roster size limit.

If Johnson goes unclaimed (he will) if gives Gorton a lot of flexibility.

There are some Canadian teams that are getting run over nightly and could really use that physical veteran presence on the back end.

Or perhaps Detroit could use a partner for Staal.

 

[Machinehead]

This is just cap chicanery. I wouldn't be excited about this at all, not to rain on everyone's parade.

Oh man I would love to see him in a habs uniform lol

Johnson was Miller insurance. Miller played better than expected. Therefore, Johnson is expendable.

Am I the only one who thinks Johnson has been better than Hajek?

Yes

 

[Cmox]

John ‘Mother f***in’ Johnson. We hardly knew thee.

It's one of the few things @Edge and @bernmeister can agree on.

Yes?

Day one free agent signing

Definitely a JD signing.

 

[CasusBelli]

Martin held a gun to Gorton’s head and made him do it. There is no other explanation.

 

[NYSPORTS]

his missing leadership will be sorely missed.

Can you imagine if we had to have Johnson all year instead of Miller?
