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

[itwasaforwardpass]

My top priority in free agency this year is to not sign Jack Johnson.

 

[Osprey]

Never mind.

So they don't mean the singer?

HAHAHAHHAAHHAAHAH

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.

Jack Johnson has averaged 22 minutes a game over the course of a long career. He's never averaged less than 19 in a season. He doesn't put up much offense but hits and blocks shots (a lot of that self-inflicted but still) and can contribute on the PK. With how cost-conscious teams are currently I wouldn't be surprised if he finds a home on some team's 3rd pairing/PK unit.

A visual representation of Jack Johnson getting $ due to sympathies, because of his shitty parents.

He's abusing the GM's now haha.

Btw what the f*** is up with that egg commercial that's being spammed?

It's literally one of the worst ads I've ever seen.

 

[Flying Dego]

Please happen! I'm pumped to see JJ playing behind Panarin and Co. With all your young talent he will single handedly suppress their point totals with his transition game.

He was a nightmare to Malkin...a generational star...good luck and can't wait for our games!

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I lol'd.

 

[chethejet]

He was a cap casualty in Pen land so hope it works for him. If you limit his TOI as third pairing guy not the worst d man.

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.

me too, I just don't want him suiting up for my team. Because with this coaching staff, he's going to play 20 minutes a night.

Does league minimum in NYC even get you a decent place? He's either going to have to get a roommate or commute from Newark.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

lmao

 

[OtherThingsILike]

Bad defensive coach and bad depth d-man is going to wonders over there lol.

Oh yeah, you just reminded me that Jacques Martin is their defensive coach now. I'm not quoting this because I think he's bad, but I do wonder if maybe it was his idea to play Jack Johnson so much?

 

[3074326]

This would be fantastic! Good luck Jack! Sign that deal brother!

 

[Oneiro]

I do not understand what the hockey community has seen in this player for literally a decade and a half.

He's been terrible. Always.

Not so much a 'cap casualty' as a 'crime against humanity'

Tank!
