This insane. Do these GMs actually watch hockey?

Hopefully he doesnt have his parents running his finances.

Seeing this and other contract expectations... it's a stress relief "knowing" (?) we aren't going after much on the FA market, staying away from contracts, etc. It's always this type of rumor/signing that grinds my gears.

Jack Johnson has been making the least amount of money of anyone in the NHL for the past few years lol

[Drew a Penalty]

TIL people still think that Jack Johnson is a good hockey player.

[ThirtyONE]

Is he bad? I don't know. I've watched a decent amount of CBJ games over the years and never noticed him in a negative way.

[Phil]

He's not good. And he's only gotten worse. He was dead last in nearly every meaningful metric on the Jackets last season.

I have a hard time picturing anyone giving Johnson $6 mil a year. He's regressed to the point where he's a 3rd pair D-man. I do think someone will give him 3 yrs $14.5 mil though which is still way too much.

[Pete]

I think he can still play. Agree with thirtyONE, I don't watch many Jackets games but he's not as god awful bad as someone like Smith was.

 

Lots of people forming opinions based on "metrics" alone. Won't go down that road.

[Phil]

"Can still play" is a long way from "is good" and "worth $6 million."

 

He's gone from 40 points four seasons ago to 14 (in 60 games), to 23, to 11 (in 77) last season. I don't even need corsi for percentage to know he's not a $6 million player, or anything close to it.

Right. Which is why I didn't mention anything about his salary.
