Now all the JJ to Ottawa trades can finally stop

what a joyous day for pens fans

“Maybe Jack Johnson isn’t as good as I think he is. Maybe. But he’s not as bad as all of the anti-Jack Johnson people think he is. I’ll tell you what he is: He’s a solid, third-pairing defenseman if he’s playing with the right guy. He’s a player that I happen to really like and I think he’s a better player than a lot of people want to give him credit for." -Jim Rutherford, August 20, 2020.

He did it. The crazy SOB did it.

Looks like the wings didn't want him for a 2nd in 2022 like everyone on here thought, same with bjugstad and maata. 0-3 cap friendly folks.

next no mantha trade to Montreal
we aren't taking matt murray
No Johnsson, kerfoot or engvall trades to wings

hahahahaha

The pens had no need for a bottom pairing LHD w a bad contract when they got an even worse one in Matheson

What else was he going to say?? He tried, or at least should have been trying, to trade him right up to the last second.

Isn't just about every dman a solid 3rd pairing guy if they're playing with the right guy??

WOW
THE LEGEND IS BEING BOUGHT OUT???

Considering all the $hit his parents put him through....a 50 year rent free lease.. W in the actual F is that?!?! Couldn't have happened to a better guy. His 2 years of service will result in $15M in Salary...yup $15M for his services... and now he becomes a UFA.

Damn it! -Rest of the league. At least he'll be on the books for 6 years.

Good move for the pens for his buyout

He deserves to be paid IMO so I’m glad he atleast got this past contract and hope he gets 1 more contract

Jack johnson was like next level bad

Then isn't bad that the GM really liked him??

yeah

Best million spent in FA by any team.

It seriously feels like Christmas morning. Oh my god.
