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

[Savant]

Leak to drive more interest. If a 1st is on the table CBJ is taking that deal shortly.

 

[mikeyp24]

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

Why? The jackets would never trade him to a rival for the minimum ask. Just like they won't get Jenner either...

 

[CBJx614]

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.

That makes a ton of sense.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Well... Columbus should just make the deal right now if they have a first round pick for him.

My guesses are either Nashville, St. Louis, Vegas or Tampa Bay. Winnipeg might be a darkhorse.

 

[THall4]

Tampa is holding out for Mcdonaugh

IMo I think Tampa initially contact CBJ of Johnson's price....once hearing McDonagh/Green was available inquired on his prices...if it was equal that's obviously the route they would've taken...like a high price for RM. So they offered up what CHJ asked...a 1st.

All speculation if it is indeed Tampa.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Yzerman is too smart to trade a 1st for Jack Johnson.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

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

Talk is Yzerman is looking at either McDonagh or Green Johnson is probably his 3rd option.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Please not Leafs

 

[HoseEmDown]

Columbus is looking for a forward back, how about Tampa 2nd + Adam Erne for Jack Johnson + 4th? I can see Tampa moving a 1st for Johnson if they can move one of Sustr/Dotchin/Koekkoek first, have 8 D already so need to move one out before we bring one in.

 

[Liferleafer]

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

Oh....it's official? No? A little early with this junk then.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

They should take it and run off as bandits.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Green.

Doubt it.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Doubt it.

Yzerman's been at the last few Wings games.

Though I'll gladly accept being wrong if it was actually because Holland is retiring and he's taking over. Unfortunately, I know that's not happening.

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

Why? The jackets would never trade him to a rival for the minimum ask. Just like they won't get Jenner either...

Lol we don’t want either player.

 

[BlueBaron]

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

Did our official spokes person say that? I missed the memo. Yes we all think he is a glorified #6 D because hive minds are like that, we also like the colour blue.

Are you the official spokesperson for the Penguins?

 

[seabass45]

If they have that offer they should take it and run.

 

[mikeyp24]

Lol we don’t want either player.

Not what the Jenner threads say...

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

There is no such imbecile in nhl for this to be true.

 

[93LEAFS]

If they have that offer he should be gone by now.

 

[Kiwi]

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

The last I looked what someone is willing to give up isn't an actual assessment of how good a player is

If that was the case Gudbranson would be a #3D

 

[BHD]

What a world.

 

[Vitto79]

Uhhhh they should take that ASAP if so

 

[elitepete]

If I’ Columbus, I take the 1st and go into the draft with 2 1sts, unless someone offers something amazing for it.

They didn’t have a 1st last year, plus they are not a legit contender at this point and are a young team.

 

[Machinehead]

lol if Jack Johnson gets a first, McDonagh is going to get the entire city his new team plays in.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If that is true, take it and run because I really don't think he's worth that, and I am all for Toronto picking him up, but he's not the guy I'd move our 1st rounder for, so I hope it' not us.
