I'm not sure why people are saying Johnson will waive his NMC. The Avs will likely be good, and he isn't going to want to leave. I'd be shocked if he did.
To me Johnson seems like an ultimate team player. I could see him go same way as Fleury did.

Fluery was sick of being dicked around, and wanted the starting job.To me Johnson seems like an ultimate team player. I could see him go same way as Fleury did.

Johnson has spent his career (for the most part) struggling with this team.
I doubt he'll sign up to leave once things are looking promising. We may contend for the cup next year, who knows.
Obviously I can't say for certain, and I'm just making an assumption.Beauch didn't wanna waive either

Barrie has way more value as a trade piece. Jost wont until he breaks out. And if he breaks out why trade him...
Yep. That makes sense, the problem is that we have to protect him due to his contract. At 33, yah, I wouldn't mind if they took him lolHe’ll be 33, heading into his age 34 season, with two years remaining on his deal.
If the past is any indication, he’ll continue to have issues staying healthy. And his play has definitely dipped a bit this season, and could decline more over the next two seasons.
Truth be told, I don’t think he’d be a guy Seattle would be targeting if he were exposed, based on age alone.

Lose 1 of Zadorov/Jost/Compher if they’re even still here. Big deal, whoop-dee-do.

I know. I don't think he wouldThey could ask him to waive his NMC, which would allow him to be exposed.
I know. I don't think he would
Perfect. He might be out of the line up in 2 years anywayThen we buy him out, if that's what we have to do

Bowers/Kaut don't need to be protected

And his buyout would be only 2M a year, which would be manageable if that's what it comes to. That's (a small) part of why I do think EJ would waive if protecting him meant losing a core-piece rather than just a core-supporting-piece (Jimmothy / Jost / Zads / etc.).
Ask EJ to waive his NTC
Sign Barrie to a one year contract extension
Offer Seatle a 3rd pick so that they don’t pick EJ
Does Timmins need protection ?

Expose or trade Kerfoot for Kaut.
I believe Timmins can be exempted due to suffering a serious injury.
Any rules on the earliest they can apply for that waiver? I would think they want this ruled on sooner than later.NHL and NHLPA have to agree on a waiver for Timmins. Odds are very high it would be approved.
