Claimed off Waivers: [COL] Avalanche claim G Jonas Johansson off waivers from the Coyotes

[PAZ]

@Richard88 found his 3G after all.

Seriously, what does COL see in this guy?
Just a solid all around teammate off the ice and at practice?

He's better than Hunter Miska.

To actually answer the question - he's a good fit in the locker room and is familiar with the team/system, understands his role, and is passable in a pinch for a few NHL games. Annunen is #3 in the depth chart, but they'd much rather him getting starts in the AHL than riding the bench if (lul, really it's a when) one of Frank/George gets injured.

There aren't going to be any better goalies for this role, so might as well go with JoJo.

Joey Jo Jo!!!

That’s the worst name I ever heard.

It was the worst of times, it was the best of times

Not if no other team put in a claim and seeing that the Avs have the last waiver request, it is obvious no other team put in a claim.

For clarity Florida has the last waiver priority. Colorado is second to last.

Florida fans chanted we want 10 all season

We did not mean 10 goals against the worst team in hockey

If I'm not mistaken, he goes back to the original waiver requests and since noone claimed him from that list (if there was a list) he can then be taken by the original team and sent to the A. A team that originally did not put in a claim cannot do it now.
But yes I forgot the Presidents Trophy winner is last in the pecking order.

For those interested, this cost Colorado $63,750, paid to Arizona and not counted against the cap.

Does he have to file taxes in two states now?

So basically the same amount that it cost the Coyotes to have Jonas play a few games in preseason. Net zero...

The Yotes make payroll this week!

Had the ultimate tank goalie….but alas he’s gone.

Go empty net for the year.

I don’t remember ever seeing an org fight so hard to keep a career AHLer. Just seems like there’s be a ton of guys out there for league minimum that could give you a similar .880 save percentage in occasional emergency duty. Parkkila must just love this guy.

Two.

Buffalo, Colorado and Florida. Would have been 4 if he played for Arizona.
