Good cap hit. I dunno about seen years on a 26-year old with an injury history. He'll be 27 in a few weeks, which means this takes him to age 34.

Probably around what Mika will get here. Johnson got a couple more years in the NHL and also hit 70 points once, but Mika is younger and got more upside for the future. 7 years may be a little too much for Mika, I guess 5/6 years for around 5.

 

Nice contract by Tampa tho. A proven goal-scoring, playoff performing 2nd line center for 5 mill is always a good deal. Reminds me alot of Brassard when he was here.

They'll regret this in 2 years or less.

Better to have this deal be a hassle in 5 years than lose one of their players now.

I'm saying the 1st 2 years. In 5 years they'll be looking to feed Johnson's gear to the gators.

Injuries are better than if his skills decline though. At least there is a chance injuries force him to retire or the may end up on LTIR.
