I think we all saw this coming. The real question now is when/will he be back?

That doesn't mean they need to cave to crazy demands, but they can work out the business in private and show some class.

if he earns 8/$80 then good on him, i'm willing to pay it...that part doesn't bother me...
Just two years ago Taveres signed a 6 year 33 million dollar deal. Seguin signed a 6 year 34.5 million deal to start last season. Last season was the first year of a 6 year 36 million deal for Eberle. Skinner 6 years at 34.35 million. All these were players coming off of their ELC.
I don't know, I would hardly call the offer(s) made horrible. I certainly can't say that Johansen is better than Taveres or Seguin. Even if you want to make the argument that he is, it's not a significant enough gap to justify calling the offers "horrible".
Is your dislike for the front office clouding your judgement?

How is 2 years $7 million dollars third line money?
Jeez, I can't believe you post the stuff you post.

You wouldn't pay 8/$80 for Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, Stamkos? Having a player like one these aforementioned instantly turns your team into a perennial contenderAgree to disagree. I don't think any player is worth that much. I also don't expect him to do the things the other players who are paid that much have.

Well, from a business perspective, wouldn't you generate enough money from jersey sales/increased ticket sales/increased TV ratings to make it a worthwhile investment? Not exactly a revenue sinkhole, I'd thinkI guess I wasn't clear the first time I said it. I don't think any player is WORTH 8 years and $80 million.

It is also their first offer. If Ryan's agent came back with a counter of 8 years and $52 million then Columbus would likely come back with something a little higher than their original offer. It is clear Ryan's agent didn't do that. Columbus would be stupid to offer him their highest offer first.
Nick Foligno makes $3 million a year. Anisimov makes $3 million a year. They play on the third line. That's how. Those were recent signings too, obviously guys like Calvert are still on their entries. The bridge is fine but I don't blame the kid for being offended when the front office expects him to be the #1 center but get paid less than #1 center (Dubie) and the #2 center and the #3 (arty). A guy like Dubie is certainly more proven and earned his term but expecting Joey to take $3 million per I think is ridiculous, and then trying to invoke public backlash to pressure him into taking it is even worse.
They refused to meet one last time? Well then..Michael Arace @MichaelArace1 2m
Jackets decline to meet face-to-face with Johansen's agent, Kurt Overhardt. So, Joey and his agent flew out of Columbus today. What a mess.
