Hard to believe he's only 61 in that picture

 

[hoax15]

Well that was unexpected

Officially a Panthers fan

wut

 

[Stewie Griffin]

He's taking his talents to south beach

 

[Esq]

Hard to believe he’s still getting a contract. Beyond done.

 

[VijayPatel11]

Where will he even play though? Our forward lines are pretty stacked already

 

[golffuul]

Why?

 

[Big Empty]

Jumboooo

 

[TheOllieC]

He'll fit right in in South Florida.

 

[Kranix]

They're yet another team trying to create a win it for Lanny scenario. And it may work if Jumbo shaves that beard into a lanny stache

 

[Pens x]

Congrats to Jumbo on continuing the dream.

 

[Once]

I’m happy he’s sticking around for nostalgia’s sake — as long as he isn’t on my team.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

My guess is he's being brought in for 40-50 games but mainly to mentor Lundell and the other young forwards.

 

[BeLeafing]

Wish him the best, but even when in a 4th line role this year he was a liability. Can't see that improving at age 42.

from one perennial first round exit to another

 

[Tuggy]

Good news! Vacancy at Del Boca Vista!

 

[TrufleShufle]

I've never seen a face say "Oh god, here we go again" as much as the one in this picture.

 

[AvroArrow]

I love you Joe but it's time to hang them up.

 

[le_sean]

Makes sense considering his age

 

[NewtJorden]

Good for him

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Guess that guy who made the will Joey get a contract thread got his answer

 

[SpezDispenser]

Strange.

 

[violaswallet]

I like it: we could use another C in case of injury or to give Lundell/Luo a night off.
