Thebrewcrew Posted July 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Well, Johnny's certainly got a shot at getting his number retired in Columbus. He's going to be one of their highest scorers in franchise history. He's also going to be spending probably half of this contract on a rebuilding team...

I'm shocked considering it's rumored NJ and NYI offered similar numbers and those two places are closer to home than Columbus. Unless home was anywhere in the USA.

LouCifer Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 I don’t know. This is starting to sound to me like NJ and NYI either weren’t as interested as reported, or their “offers” came in less than what CBJ was offering. Oh Johnny. What have you done? The only other narrative is that “anywhere in the US” is home… and he unfortunately landed in one of those “anywheres” hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Should be pointed out Columbus is very close to where he lives so it appears true that family truly was the biggest motivator here. But I too am shocked, I thought this was Jersey for sure. I'm not really sure what he sees in Columbus and their roster. Center depth doesn't look great to me so passing up a chance to play with Hughes and Heischer is certainly a play. What a massive get for Columbus though who also have Sillinger and Kent Johnson to put into their lineup. Big skill upgrade there. Wonder how they make this work with Laine. They had 12 mill cap space left and got Gaudreau. That's a lot of clearing to do to try and get Laine back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn’t playing for Columbus, he might’ve achieved the highest scorer in franchise history this year! Too bad tho… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbus had 12 mill in cap space. Not suggesting the Flames target him just an interesting development. Closer .. yes ..but 500 miles is still an 8 hr drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted July 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Low pressure situation for Johnny. CBJ does have a solid fan base, but they aren't the biggest thing in Columbus. It's the Buckeyes and it's not even close. He will be able to go out without being recognized. Wouldn't have had that luxury here or even in PHI.

Don't worry, CBJ will do us a solid and trade Laine to us for future considerations. And maybe Monahan to go with the set (Guddy and Johnny).
