I think it was the void of losing Staals leadership. They wanted a vet, but it looks like they are all signing for multiple years which I'm sure the Rangers want no part of with Hajek and Miller really close

I mean I get it, if you strike out on other options maybe you can come back to Johnson a few weeks from now. But why the frank was he the priority at noon on the first day of free agency

wow

Even at barely above the minimum... he is a negative value player. You guys aren't in full tank mode anymore... so I don't get even having him as your 8th or 9th Dman. An average AHL call up is better. But, like you said... 1 year... so (frank) JR and his buyout with the Pens

You know what tho, we got Alexis Lafreniere

It’s a good time to be a Ranger fan when all the trolls have is us signing Johnson for a year for a milly. Keep it up trolls!

I tell you what though...it looks a lot better than the caps paying Justin Schultz that money for 2 years

The only troll was Bruce, and his trolling is so bad i actually feel nothing but sympathy

Yea its sad cause I think he thinks people get mad at him when he tries to troll. But we all just feel sorry for him

you would if you were a Flames fan

OMG

Johnson is completely horrible...even for a dozen shifts

Fck...konecny is getting 20 goals against the rangers alone!!!
- bruceflyers

Konecny will never score 20 goals in a season again

How was the Cup parade in Philly?

He like the alley cat with 2 good legs, a lazy eye and patches of fur, he tries to be mean but you just feel bad for him and want to give him some warm milk

I don't hate it

Nothing to complain about with that deal, Calgary though has been a goaltenders graveyard

Bolts just won a Cup with Coburn, Schenn and Bogosian on the roster, chart girls are blowing up because we signed Johnson to a 1 year deal

Chart girls is great!

Need an astronomy degree to even understand those idiotic charts that they swear tells the whole story of a player.

I agree but to play devil's advocate for a second, they have Hedman and Sergachev. Their 3rd best defenseman is Ryan Mcdonagh.

No big splash? Whatever man, Johnson’s takin us to the promised land!

Jan if I can offer you some advice. Don't write a blog about Jack Johnson. Just include it as a part of a later blog

Good idea. That would definitely be worse than any Tony blog

Jack Johnson is just a glorY HOLE

With Calgary signing Markstrom to that sizable contract today, they have to now clear cap space. Does that make Monahan available and do you think Rangers are interested? Personally, I like him but I am not crazy about his game other than he is good at face offs...

probably not but that would be amazing

Watched a few interviews with Gorton and he said they’ve had ongoing discussions with ADA about moving to the left side. I don’t think he gets traded.
