Confirmed with Link: Avs re-sign D Jack MF Johnson ($775k, 1y)

[Avs9296]

JJ and Cogs are going to be huge for the lockeroom, missing EJ and Landy.

JJ looked like he could still play as a number 6 or ideally 7.

As long as there's a Johnson and Wood on the roster the Avs are bound to score.

The best Johnson returns

JJ at 775k >>>>>>> EJ at 3.5M

Must suck for JJ to know that he was better than EJ last year and he’s only making 25% of what the other makes though.

 

[LOFIN]

Always wanted to bring him back, as long as it was something around league minimum. Which this is. Seems like such a good guy, and he fits our system well.

To be brutally honest, if we are looking at just on-ice performance, I would've brought back JJ before EJ if both were offered this deal. I thought he has been better than EJ.

He's always been a bit more agile. He was an OFD in his early years, but he's changed a bit. Still gets it to the net when opportunity knocks.

Honestly if we had more space he'd be worth a couple million. I guess he's close to that with the Pitt money though.

He lost a lot of money from his family screwing him over. Basically all of what he made in his prime. Awesome dude.

 

[BrickNHL]

Great signing, he was the guy I was hoping we pick up for the #6D spot.

 

[NMAvsman]

Perfect signing. Needed. Was expected but since it didn't happen right away I was unsure. Totally agree that he was better than EJ at the end. He understands his limitations and EJ does not.

I doubt Jack cares. Dude just loves to play hockey, hang out with the boys, and is enjoying the last moments of his career.

Or he wants to stay in Colorado and is willing to take whatever they offer, unlike EJ who is clearly still chasing pay days.

Jack will have a contract in this league until he feels like retiring because GMs respect him so much. Money shouldn't be an issue. Plus he gets paid this season and next by Pittsburgh.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Apparently he was offered more by another team.

Or two, or three, whatever as long as he keeps his conditioning up, they'll Hejduk him until he decides he's done.

Well, horses aren't cheap lol.

Unless their name is Jack Johnson.

 

[Tweaky]

I like it. No risk, big locker room presence, bigger heart.

Likes the group, knows his role here, wants to win

Naw...JMFJ is exactly where he wants to be.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Banana Pancakes! As my Blue Jackets supporting sister would call him. She’s gonna be stoked.

 

[Hasbro]

The Penguins are still paying him more than the Avalanche.

 

[niwotsblessing]

JMFJ as 3LD will play with Malinski as 3RD- on ice coach and mentor.

Trade Girard and pay Toews.

 

[RECKLESS]

Most underrated D in the league?

 

[Bender]

Lol I knew it!! Expected 850k though... Awesome !! JMFM !!

 

[Snow Arc]

Muther HUMPIN!

 

[CobraAcesS]

Naw...JMFJ is exactly where he wants to be.

I actually have a CBJ Tshirt with his signature and, can't remember the dudes name.. They were paired together. They were doing some sort of charity drive on Twitter at the time.

Just a cool momento, but even more valuable to me now lol.

Edit, it was Wisniewski lol.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Glad JMFJ is back. Could have gone for some extra cash but wanted to stay with the team he feels he fits with.

250k overpaid
