Confirmed with Link: Arizona claims Jonas Johansson off of waivers (EDIT: Bye bye - Back to CO)

[RemoAZ]

Couple this with the fact, that at some point, Nemeth and Stetcher will be our top paring defensemen, we are destined for a 32nd place finish.

And then lose the lottery and pick how far back? 3rd? 4th? What's the worst pick you can get with the worst record?

3rd.

Which means one of Yager or Michkov.

I'd say mission accomplished

 

[Jormungandr]

So much for not getting into another Carter Hutton situation.

 

[Grimes]

3rd.

Yep, much like last year where there was a major drop off after the top 3, I think this year you got 5 can't miss all-star caliber players.

I do not see in any sort of shape or way of us being better than 3rd to worst. Which = top 5 pick.

I'd take any of Bedard, Michkov, Fantilli, Yager or Carlsson number one last year.
Owen Powers, MacTavish, Stuzle, Sanderson and maybe Raymond would be over Yager and Carlsson.

In all seriousness though I think this means the (eventual) end of Prosvetov.

As bad as Prosvetov has been, he's better than this guy.

You kinda start to get an idea why Chychrun wants out when you see moves like this.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Love it. Total tank move. Eyes on the prize boys. It's all about Bedard, and this gets us closer.

Maybe Gibson was so bad he just wasn’t even a good practice goalie. They figure they release Gibson and claim this dude purely to take Gibsons place as temporary practice solution. Hopefully something else presents itself that makes more sense. Then it’s back to waivers for this guy and Gillies. Tendeck needs a backup in the ECHL too, I think.

 

[Schemp]

Jankowski was working with the Sabres when Johansen was with them. If that means anything.

 

[Imaravencawcaw]

I love how absolutely brutal this tweet is from when this guy went to the Avs

 

[LittlePipes]

From Wikipedia:

"Johansson made his NHL debut (for Buffalo) on 4 February 2020, in relief of Carter Hutton in a game against the Colorado Avalanche. "

Yeesh.

oh for crying out loud

 

[Mosby]

Gibson helped meet the vet quota for preseason games I believe.

And I do r think he’s really any better or worse than Gillies or Johansson. All three are about as bad as a goalie can possibly be and still be in an NHL camp.

 

[Schemp]

In all likelihood, Johansson will return to the Avs when the Coyotes get another goalie, through waivers or in a trade. It is obvious that they took the 1st one available, that would be needed in the A as a backup. He won't stay long with the Coyotes and is purely a precaution if another goalie isn't found by the start of the season.

I hope you’re right.

Connor Ingram, come on down!

[RABBIT]

Serious question: when was the last time someone claimed one of our players off of waivers?

 

[Schemp]

I hope you’re right.

Even though I called it, I am relieved. Didn't want that extra contract even though it was 2 way. It was about how many contracts we already have and the ability to take on other contracts through trades and signing prospects after the college season is over and also the off chance of Russians wanting to defect.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

I really want to say that this is the shortest-ever stint with the Coyotes, but Brett Hull exists...

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I want a Jonas Johansson Coyotes jersey for Christmas

I have to imagine that distinction belongs to Vladimír Országh.

This post aged well. Great call Schemp

This guy could have been the Tank Commander to lead us to a better 0fer start than last season. What a missed opportunity!

Vejmelka's gonna be fine for that. Only real question mark is whether Connor Ingram is going to figure out his issues to the point where he ruins the curve, but as the backup I think we can confidently say that even if he overachieves it will be a limited sample.
