Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYR] Jack Johnson signs with the Rangers (1 year, $1.15M)

[Wallet Inspector]

After his dipshit parents blew all his money I hope Jack johnson can get as much money as he can for the rest of his career.

 

[Carltons Cup]

The Rags will undo all their great moves lately with this one signing....

 

[Jacob]

Veteran guy, good teammate, can play both sides and generally takes a beating out there. He’s not that bad, it all depends on the price and the role.

 

[Eggtimer]

Oh please be true - Devils fan

 

[WingsMJN2965]

They're looking for an expensive-man's Brendan Smith?

Better than the dummies who signed Brendan Smith himself!

 

[Boxscore]

Are these teams crazy?

 

[The List Of Jericho]

LMFAO

Yup, this is the take

 

[Mickey Marner]

I'm sure he's in the clear. He declared bankruptcy when his career earnings were ~15 million. He's made almost double since.

 

[Jee]

LMFAO

True, but his contract with the Penguins since "breaking even" has given him more money than most HFers will make in their lifetimes, so the pity is wearing off now.

 

[FatGiraffe]

Oh God no. Let it at least be the singer.

 

[Dumais]

Im guesing 3.8m for 4 years.

Good job Rangers...

 

[The Duck Knight]

They need someone to buy-out next year?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Jeff Gorton knows why Jack Johnson was bought out, it wasn't because of his play.

 

[usekakkorightquinn]

He freakin sucks. Are JD and Gorton drinking?

 

[Nickmo82]

Nononononononononononononononononono please no.

Don't replace Marc Staal with Staal 2.0

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Hope they mean the boxer

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Why not. Need a new whipping boy

 

[Freudian]

It makes sense. You can't buy out a contract you haven't signed yet.

 

[Canes]

Rangers want him to be their version of at least one of Shattenkirk/Bogosian/Schenn

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

The dude's parents ripped him off and took him for all his money. I'm okay if he gets some pain and suffering money out of the deal.

Human angle aside, I am amazed he keeps getting these deals when it was so obvious years ago that the Kings improved from addition by subtraction when they traded him. A team that desperately needed scoring gave up an offensive d-man and still got better for it.

 

[varano]

They really shouldn't be

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

 

[North Cole]

Memes aside, I hope he signs. Now that his bankruptcy nightmares are over, it would be nice for him to earn some money he gets to keep.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Yeah I'm all for Johnson getting as much as he can.

Even if he is already a multi millionaire again now
