Not surprising, I expect he will name a few teams he is willing to waive to.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I am absolutely shocked

 

[2CHAINZ]

Tampa Bay: Tyler would you be willing to waive your no trade clause ?

Tyler: *takes sip out of Stanley cup* Nah

 

[Eggtimer]

I can’t see any of the lightning players that management wants to move all waving their MTC’s .
Hopefully to the point that Serg is available

 

[MarkusKetterer]

They’d be stupid to not ask any of their NTC/NMC people that aren’t part of the core. I’d rather have Cirelli, Sergachev, and Cernak over Gourde, Palat and Johnson going forward.

Only fit I see are the Panthers.

Why?

 

[Forge]

Don't do it, Johnson. Be a jerk .

 

[Peter Griffin]

Too bad Seattle wasn’t joining the league this year, they could probably convince him to go home.

It's been a great run, Johnson deserves a fresh start with more offensive opportunities. I wish him the best if he's moved, and fully expect a bouceback year. He's not getting enough respect these days and is nowhere near done being an effective player, just needs a change of scenery.

Tampa: we can always put you on waivers

 

[Martinez]

I can’t see why he would waive it

Yeah, good luck with waiving a guy like Johnson or Gourde and then turning around and asking Cirelli or Sergachev to sign a "team friendly" bridge deal.

I expect he should clear anyways.

30 year old, with 4 years at $5M who is under .5ppg and on the most talent loaded team in the league (so expecting him to do that on any other team seems unlikely). Plus any team claiming him would be throwing away the chance to get a better player off their team.

 

[Djp]

Other than surprising moves of trading Stsmkos and McDonugh....they need to move to if the 4 ( Palat, Killorn, Goudrr, Johnson)

Johnson as a C would have the most interest.

He also might be willing to be taken seattle.

No player should sign a team-friendly deal anyway.

This.

TB can waive Johnson and I doubt he wants to be randomly assigned to the worst team that wants him. Johnson gives an acceptable list and TB will get a deal done.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Tough move anyway without having 1st rounder this year and not being able to take back much cap.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Don't do it, Johnson. Be a jerk .

Canes don't want him.

 

[Suntouchable13]

There are way too many players being handed ntc's, especially non-stars. Tyler Johnson, a good player but he was never a "star", right?

 

[TeddyBare]

Biggest shock to me is that he got a FULL NTC

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I hope none of the guys with NMC isn’t Amos waive just to see how creative Brisebois can get

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

It would be a new level of watching it burn if all refused to waive.
