Just Buy Johnson Out At Next Window Part 1

Équipe: 2019-20 Penguins de Pittsburgh

Date de création initiale: 27 sept. 2019

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

We need to face the fact.
Johnson is barely a 7th D at this point in his career. It would take a massive sweetner for a team to take on $3.25 mil of cap for the next 4 years. This isn't a short term thing, the team is stuck with him for at least 2-3 years (assuming they eventually buy him out)
-Retaining more than 10% on him makes no sense if we have to add in sweetneers.

Waive him this season.
Worst case we get some cap relief.

This leaves us with around $744k in cap space for a call up.
Czuzman makes $700k and he would be the ideal callup on D.
