[John Price]

He's coming home boys

 

[Draiskull]

Good for him. Hopefully he has some juice left.

Edit: They should go after Kane next and walk away from Ehlers.

 

[JKG33]

Honestly shocked. I was wrong on that one.

I think he comes in as a strong 2C for the Jets

 

[SteelCityCannon]

If he even remotely succeeds there it'll be so awesome.

[Malkinstheman]

It's kind of funny how wrong Cam has been the past few weeks

What level of play qualifies as a strong 2C in your opinion?

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Thank Christ. I cannot express enough how much I did not want Tampa doing this

[miscs75]

We just figured out who’s winning the Masterton now.

 

[DJESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Honestly shocked. I was wrong on that one.

he’s 37 and by the time the season starts will have not played an NHL game for 30 months

if he even maintains a spot in the lineup it’ll be impressive

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good for Johnny. Long shot but hopefully it works.

 

[Satan]

big mistoewk signing him - but always nice to see a guy return to his hometown.. ill be rooting for him

 

[Kevin Musto]

Surprised it's not a PTO

 

[gojetsgo]

this is pretty cool tbh

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

“A strong 2c” is such a wild projection to put on a 37 year old that was already regressing before he was out of the league for 30 months.

As others have said, it would be a good story if the dude can maintain a spot in the lineup.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He was toast two and a half years ago but here's hoping he plays well.

 

[KovalchukFistPump]

Honestly shocked. I was wrong on that one.

I would set your expectations at a 4C and PK2. 10-14 minutes a game. Think late career Thornton or Spezza.

 

[JKG33]

What level of play qualifies as a strong 2C in your opinion?

I think he'll come in at 40-50 points and very defensively responsible.

I think he's the Jets best bet at 2C that theyve had since Little, and injects something they very desperately need.. a winner into their lineup

 

[OmniSens]

Great to see him back in the league. I have to imagine this will be his last season.

 

[Barsky]

Honestly shocked. I was wrong on that one.

I think he comes in as a strong 2C for the Jets

He wasn't even a strong #2 3 years ago when he last played, so maybe a nice #3, if they're lucky

 

[Weezeric]

Great to see him back in the league. I have to imagine this will be his last season.

Tell that to Corey Perry.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Love it!

 

[Do or Die]

Lower line C......but looking at a ton of intangibles, here.....
