Perfectly okay with this

 

[dahrougem2]

Get that vaccine pairing, baby.

 

[JoeSakic13]

AJ is gonna hate this…..and for that I love this

 

[Freudian]

Too much term.

 

[MaKarter]

Too much term.

They had to go that long to lower the AAV.

 

[sethro109]

Well shit.

 

[hockeyfish]

LOL, I'd have thought you were high if you told me a month ago JJ would possibly play a role on this team.

 

[Vk1ing]

750k is fine. I doubt he is a regular unless we have injuries. Looking forward to the Johnson Johnson pairing

[Metallo]

Minimum NHL salary, fully burriable so not a big risk.

 

[frog]

good signing

 

[Bonzai12]

We’re gonna win the cup!

 

[Tommy Shelby]

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Well shit.

 

[henchman21]

Too much term.

I agree. I’d have been perfectly ok with zero years.

 

[Avs9296]

Finally my 2010 dream has come true to have the JJ-EJ pairing. Too bad it's 11 years late....

 

[Avs_19]

Zero reason to do this but it was obvious they were going to. Hopefully he won't play too many games.

 

[CharlesPuck]

With Makar and Toews already banged up
This makes sense

 

[katfude]

Yeah this was inevitable. Do they make EJ put an E on his jersey or do they just do JJ's like:

JOHNSON
(the bad one)

Also to clarify I'm ok with this move because we're already banged up on D.

[Raucherhusten]

Normally we pay a 4th for a guy like him, so i think giving him a 1 year league min contract is just fine.

 

[Avs_19]

I guess technically Sakic isn't lying. JJ is a steady presence in the sense that the puck will be in the defensive zone whenever he's on the ice so he'll have a presence there.

 

[VikingAv]

Our playoff scapegoat (along with Jost), even though he might do ok in the regular season.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I mean I don't like it, but he really did play well enough that he earned this from us.


As long as his minutes are limited and he doesn't block minutes for Byram I'm fine with it.


750k also means it can be fully buried in the minors as well.
