Rumor: Mckenzie and Lebrun say Columbus has an offer of a late first round pick for Jack Johnson

[grapes55]

so the better question is what is considered a late first rounder. would make it easier to see what team it is

I'd imagine a pick in the 20-31 range would be considered "late"

 

[Jumptheshark]

I can TB offering

Conditional 1st(if the Tb makes it to the final 4--if not it is a 2nd) with BJS tossing in a 3rd

 

[Shagged Yer Nan]

I bet it's caps.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

i dont buy it... he would already be in the air flying to his new team if that was the case

I'm sure we are looking, but I would think that they want to exhaust McDonagh possibilities before making a move.

I don't think this is Tampa just because the number of other irons that are in the fire.

 

[hockeykicker]

I bet it's caps.

most likely. they cant afford mike green without sending a contract back. its probably washington

Once again, Jackets want a roster player, a usable forward, coming back. A pick is the fallback.

The price on McDonagh might just be too high.

To add to this, they still have a chance at the playoffs. Think Mckenzie said picks won't help Columbus now while Johnson can help the team make the playoff's and possibly help make some noise. I'm sure if they go further and further away from a playoff spot, they would take the offer. It just sucks because he could get injured or the mystery team could take back their offer or acquire someone else.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Columbus should take that 1st and run. Then try and package that 1st along with other assets for help at center.

 

[Extra Texture]

I hope its not Tampa. I get that they would be even harder to knock off if they get MacD, but I wanna see some TDL fireworks.

If I’m Columbus, I accept that offer immediately and do this for safe measure

Liked and quoted for that clip. Thank you for the laugh.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I think this is Tampa.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

I dont see why NJ would do it unless they are moving defensemen.

Wonder who is giving a first

likely washington. they want green but theyd have to send a contract back. with johnson, they dont have to

 

[SI90]

Probably Tampa has a deal on the table for Johnson with the contingency being they can’t acquire McDonough

 

[Curufinwe]

They gave up a 1st for Coburn three years ago, but he was a better defender than JJ.

 

[TaketheCannoli]

What about Vegas? He has playoff experience, usually ups his game significantly in the playoffs and he could provide a lot of leadership there. They have cap space to sign him too.

 

[AvatarAang]

lol better take it. wonder who its from

Bergevin or Chiarelli

 

[rent free]

Bergevin or Chiarelli

i have a feeling its yzerman. his team has a lot of great prospects and i have a feeling jj will play good for them because of the system they play.

 

[KirkOut]

Oof, it’s times like this when the Blues not having a late first isn’t the worst thing

 

[Deam78]

This has Washington written all over it.

And a bunch of 1sts

 

[Kcb12345]

Based on absolutely nothing, I'm gonna say ... Dallas or St. Louis (cause Edmundson is out for a bit).

Edit: Whoops - didn't know the Blues didn't have their 1st.

Lindell - Klingberg
Hamhuis - Pateryn
Johnson - Johns
x: Honka
IR: Methot

Dunn - Pietrangelo
Bouwmeester - Parayko
Johnson - Bortuzzo
x: Gunnarsson
IR: Edmundson

Almost no way Jim Nill does that. Our focus is on our top 6, likely not the defense.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

So happy the Pens don't have the cap space.

 

[Nizdizzle]

That's quite a price for a "glorified #6" eh Toronto fans?

I just pray its the Penguins, so we can hear you how excited you are to spend a 1st rounder on him.
