But Selke Crosby can help him improve his defense.
It's Sid's friend on Sid's team. It's good for Sid's morale so why change that? Pens do what Sid wants not Rutherford.
Proof?

How about the eye test where you look for him in the playoffs and you can't f***ing find him because he's terrible and was a healthy scratch the entire series?Because GMs are stupid and aren't as analytically driven as fans are. I think it's really easy to understand how it happens, because a majority of GMs trust the eye test more than analytics. It's not like JR had a senile moment and was the only guy to offer anything to Johnson.
Look at what GMs are in the NHL today, I would say there are 3x-4x as many GMs who were GMs in the 1990s than GMs who joined after the analytics boom in hockey. It's not surprising that these things happen all of the time in the NHL when you consider that JR, Murray, Holland, Lamoriello, Bowman, Poile, Wilson and Armstrong are GMs in the NHL today.
Want to know why guys like Staal, Gudbranson, Daley, Girardi (both pre and post buyout), Johnson, Scuderi, McQuaid, Polak and Phaneuf are still around/stayed around way longer than they should have? Because most GMs don't use the stats that fans use to show that these guys suck.
Oh yeah, he has done a really terrible job with winning 2 cups for the Penguins.
That's not why he was scratched. At least according to JR.How about the eye test where you look for him in the playoffs and you can't ****ing find him because he's terrible and was a healthy scratch the entire series?
Everybody knew Jack Johnson was terrible when the contract was signed.
Maybe they hoped he could work out as well as Daley did.
Except Daley was actually a damn good player before he ever got to the Pens. Johnson has never been a good player in the NHL, ever.

Jack Johnson is there because he's Crosby's friend. If Crosby wants him there he isn't getting moved.Proof?
Still waiting on your proof, not your opinion.Jack Johnson is there because he's Crosby's friend. If Crosby wants him there he isn't getting moved.

There are hundreds of HFBoards users who, presumably with zero qualification and utilising publicly available information, could have walked up to Rutherford and put up a demonstration as to why Jack Johnson should not have been offered any contract.
It boggles my mind how this **** can happen.
Man, every time I see Jack Johnson's name it makes me sad. I just can't get my head around how parents could steal from their own kid. Mind boggling.
These people you speak of also have a bunch of fancy stats that prove some of the best players in the league, like Erik Karlsson, aren't actually very good hockey players.
If the NHL was suddenly overrun by people who share the same sentiments as the HF braintrust, the league would crash and burn.
Too much time surfing and playing acoustic guitar, dude needs to switch to Fortnite.

When expansion goes to 40 NHL teams under Bettman, the expansion fee will be like 1 billion dollars and the Honolulu Hawaiians GM Cliff fletcher will draft Jack Johnson with their first pick.
Fletcher in the presser will talk about JJ's calming influence in the locker room and how they want to build a relaxed team like atmosphere.

There were a few of threads earlier this year where lots of people kept trying to argue he wasn't as good as his reputation. My point was that people on HF throwing advanced stats around would certainly not make them better GM's than most currently employed, like he implied.Advanced stats frequently rate Erik Karlsson as by far the best defenseman and a top-5 player in the NHL.
I was trying to think of a similar way to put it....this nails itThere are hundreds of HFBoards users who, presumably with zero qualification and utilising publicly available information, could have walked up to Rutherford and put up a demonstration as to why Jack Johnson should not have been offered any contract.
