It wasn't "supposedly." Every time the Hurricanes talked to Johnson and his camp (read: his parents), they got static about promises made to Michigan, etc. Upon getting traded to LA, those promises seemed not to matter so much. Knowing what we know about Jack Sr. I think it's a fair assessment that Jack didn't want to go from being the Dancing Dad, as much part of the show as Jack Jr. himself, to being out of the limelight in a smaller market.
