Damn, as if we weren't already losing the fight for Bedard, now we lose our biggest tank asset.

Good for him, though. Getting to go back to Colorado.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

For Englund, James, I mean, Jack?

 

[Mrfenn92]

First Kane and now Jack. Tough time for hawks fansI

 

[Wally1112pac]

Practice body out, practice body in.

Good for Johnson to go back to his old team.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Avs fans are saying Englund was doing well in his role. Hopefully an upgrade.

 

[clydesdale line]

Former teammate of Philip Holm (and Robin Norell in fact). Nice little reunion for the both of them.

 

[Northernhawk]

Pending UFA for pending UFA...weird

 

[plank]

Wore #88 in Colorado, now available

 

[HLLYWD99]

I like it!

 

[BLKHKhockey]

Sure, why not.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Johnson was f***ing awful.

 

[CanadianHawks]

Happy to never watch Jack Johnson in a Hawks jersey again. He was a complete tire fire

 

[Kevin Musto]

Sounds kind of like a favour to Jack Johnson more than anything.

Ultimately a nothing trade, though I suppose Englund has more longevity due to age. But he'd have to impress Richardson to get extended.

 

[Pez68]

This hurts the tank. Why does Colorado make this trade? Jack Johnson was brutal.

 

[clydesdale line]

Looks like Stan isn't the only GM (well in his case former) who falls in love with guys who helped them win the cup.

This kind of deal goes a long way for UFA's that are looking to be moved to contenders at the TDL Nice move KD. Bring on more of these assets.

 

[Space umpire]

Johnson was f***ing awful.

Yup, just a dumb player.

 

[Kevin Musto]

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Yup, just a dumb player.

Hard to tell if you're in on the joke or not.

 

[Blackhawks26]

Meh for meh. Bring on more trades!

 

[HeisenBaez]

Well, ok, then.

 

[giza]

That return was actually better than I expected.....pencil him in for that #6 Dman next year!
