Many of the kind of players you point out can't get paid any more than they do because of NHL rules, its a measure of can't as opposed to won't. Now you may rather Johnsson playout a full season before giving him a longer deal, and that's fine, but can you really say that Babcock, a notorious lover of his GUD PROS, pulling Komarov in the playoffs, in favor of Johnsson shows that Johnsson has proved nothing with regards to him being an NHL calibre player, because that's what I've gotten from all you guys.
Everyone on these boards know Johnsson is an NHL player. That's not what we're talking about here though. You really think someone who has played 9 NHL games deserves a contract for 2-4 mil? I don't remember the numbers you were throwing out there but I think it was around that range. That's crazy and won't happen and probably never will.
