Confirmed with Link: Chad Johnson Signs One Year $1.7m

[InfinityIggy]

There you go. Problem solved.

Just curious, anyone know what the penalty is to not have a goalie exposed?

So far the league has left that (intentionally) vague. I imagine they would want to impose the penalties on a case by case basis.

 

[Kahvi]

First and second year pros are exempt. We have no players under contract who fit the parameters for expansion. Therefor a mistake.

Same question again, did we have a that kind of goalie before this contract? Also, did this contract remove the possibility that Flames sign a goalie to a contract that is available to expansion draft?

 

[Rangediddy]

I actually don't see Chad Johnson being picked in the draft anyways. Should be a non-issue.

Extend Johnson and expose him, sign Elliot after the draft... assuming we want to keep them both another year that is.

 

[Fig]

Don't players who are exposed have to be under contract for the 2017/18 season? For LV to be able to select him, we'd have to extend him. So we extend him, pay St. Louis a 3rd then lose him to LV... not a chance

I am no expert, but I assumed we expose no one, but protect no one on G.

the penalty for not meeting requirements could be the loss of our 1st round pick

Chad Johnson extended 1 year 2 mil by TDL.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Wait, both of these goalies will be under contract until July 1 2017. Draft will be held June 2017.

Problem solved itself methinks. Could expose either goalie.

iii) One goaltender who is under contract in 2017-18 or will be a restricted free agent at the expiration of his current contract immediately prior to 2017-18. If the club elects to make a restricted free agent goaltender available in order to meet this requirement, that goaltender must have received his qualifying offer prior to the submission of the club's protected list.

Nope, has to be another season after this one.

My point was more just sign the back up for two years. Then we wouldn't have had anything to worry about. If Chad Johnson was their guy, sign him to a two year deal. probably could have got the AAV down a bit too.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I like my loophole better.

So yeah, sign a minor league pro goalie and problem solved. Not sure what the tandems are in the AHL/ECHL. Gillies and McDonald, but who else?

 

[Calculon]

They could expose Rittich I guess, assuming he's a RFA next summer.

Flames can do a lot regarding expansion draft and goalies. Their focus should not be in expansion draft but in the coming season. No need to bash any signing because it doesnt fit with expansion draft (unless its the opposite way, signing players that need to be protected)

Rittich would be an RFAm we just have to give him a qualifying offer prior to the expansion draft. Problem solved. Good call Calc.

 

[tfong]

Good backup option.

Seconded. Thank you based Calculon.

Well if that works then good. Never like CJ anyway

 

[YourAverageFan*]

Love this signing. Going into today, Johnson was the only player I wanted. Solid backup.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Mostly just glad it's not Ortio. Local guy with pretty decent numbers. Brad has nailed the last TDL, Draft Day, and I would give him at least a B+ today.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Soooooo we don't have a goalie to Expose expansion draft now? So we either get a penalty or are forced into a trade. This signing is so bad. I'm convinced our management has no idea what a good goalie looks like. What a joke.

Pretty sure they do and that's why Ortio isn't coming back

And it's easy enough to extend Johnson for a year if he plays well enough. Otherwise we trade for a backup before expansion.

Rittich can be exposed.

Has to be a guy in the NHL to an NHL contract. But yes, through 17/18. I posted that earlier in this thread. So yes one of or both Elliot and Johnson should be extended. I also explained why both should be extended.

Problem already solved - see above.

There is no GP requirements for goalies, so they do not have to be an NHL goalie. That would be an absolutely ridiculous thing to ask because then teams would essentially 2 NHL goalies signed and probably 10-15 teams won't.

 

[PensFan6687]

It's funny how some view Chad Johnson only as a backup and can't think of the possibility he could be more. Not saying with this team.. just in general. The guy is 29. Most goalies don't have their best days until they reach their 30's. Also, he proved he could play the role of starter (yes it was just 45 games), but beyond October he had a very good year on a Buffalo team that had a lot of new parts and coaching staff. I think the guy has the potential to be a starter. Not saying he is a clear-cut starter material. But the potential is there and he does believe in himself. He has the confidence.

I like what I have seen out of Johnson.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I think Johnson > Ramo, honestly.
