I like it..I'm in the minority but I do think the nay-sayers will grow into the signing. He's only 31 and still young enough to be productive till the contract runs out. We should be lucky- hard to sign top fa Defensman in their early 30's

Surprised that the Penguins haven't made it official yet. I thought this was a deal that was going to be finalized instantly.

I'm optimistic with Johnson, I think he'll do well here. The term sucks, but I'd take Johnson at this contract over a shorter term with more money.

Basically swapped Hunwick for JJ which I don't mind but his contract could be a Hunwick situation in 2-3 years at worst. As long as JR can get us out of it.

Think this is a terrible signing and we'll be back here next year waiting for the young player + him to Buffalo for a conditional 3rd/4th trade again.

No matter what, he's a Penguin now so I'm hoping for the guy to knock it out of the park. I'll happily take the "lol doubter" thread bumps in a year if he unlocks some beastly play here rather than have my doubts substantiated.

Don't even need "beastly" play, just decent.
