Johansen terms: $3M in 2014-15, $3M in 2015-16 and $6M in 2016-17.

 

[Splarg]

Does this mean that he has UFA status at the end of this contract?

 

[DarkandStormy]

But can he clear immigration in time for Thursday? lol

no...still RFA then

 

[DarkandStormy]

Does this mean that he has UFA status at the end of this contract?

No, will still be restricted.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Yeah, he'll be there.

Jackets blinked. 6 million QO after year 3. But I don't care, hopefully he's worth alot more than that when this expires

 

[KJ Dangler]

Fair to both sides, I believe. Also shows Jackets front office take care of their players.

 

[IHeartZherdev*]

Who will be the first to complain 3 years is too long to commit to someone who got benched in Springfield?

I kid...great to have him signed!

 

[Jyrki]

Not bad. The $6M QO possibility after expiration isn't a problem unless Johansen stops developing.

 

[CentreKeeper12]

Yeah, he'll be there.

Jackets blinked. 6 million QO after year 3. But I don't care, hopefully he's worth alot more than that when this expires

the 6 million in the 3rd year isn't that hard to swallow. If he does what he can do, then it won't matter

3 years is perfect, and great deal for Jackets. for next 2 years hes paid as he would have been under the 2 yr bridge deal. 3rd year gives Joey what he wants, meaning for the jackets to resign him, the jackets have to offer 6 mill or within 15% of that number. Worst case, if he doesnt continue to progress, we overpay for 1 yr, and if motivation issues arrive, a very tradeable contract as well

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Yes, but if he doesn't then Joey is probably not kept unless he takes a reduction. But let's not worry about that right now, thank god this is over and we have our star back

 

[Hugg]

finally

 

[Hello Johnny]

Great deal. Happy to have him back in time for the season!

 

[BluejacketNut]

thank god, lets get this season going now!
