Sujet: Doing what should have been done at the start of the year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>you are way to hard on a guy that's meant to get 3rd pairing minutes but has to play on the 1st pairing.

You won't find a single team in the league who has a 3rd pairing guy who can do that even remotely effectively.
Truth is he's played fairly well. As much as you knock him, you over look the fact he's playing 20+ minutes a game and they are winning them.</div></div>

No, hes not playing fairly well. Compared to last year he is better, but he is still horrible. Hes out of position, screens his own goalies, and gets burned. Look at everyone when they are paired to Johnson, their play drops drastically. Just because they're winning, doesn't mean hes part of the reason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>The rest of us are kind of tired of the constant hate on a guy who's played decently all season.
Is he a bit over paid for a 3LD, yeah sure he is. But how many 3LD do you know that can move up and play 2nd and 1st pair minutes for an extended period of time and it not be a complete disaster.

He's fine. He's playing out his role and has been for some time. It's not his fault he's there.</div></div>

He is overpaid for what is, you are right. Fun fact, Jusso Riikola has significantly better results when used on the third pairing. You can ignore all of Jacks bad play on the Letang pairing and just look at that. He also does not fit well with Sullivan's system at all due to his poor passing and skating in transition.

And regardless of where he is used, the issues are still there. Huge negative offensively. Poor at protecting his own net due to bad awareness. This is why lots of pucks bounce off of him an into the net. He also screens his goalies.

See that giant red dot in front of the goal on the defensive end? That's where opponents are shooting when he's on the ice. These numbers all better than last year but are still abysmal. He's a negative to his own team on offense. A positive to the other team on offense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>JJ isn't a bad player on his natural side. Especially when he plays on the 3rd pairing.
Penguins played him on the R side and on the 2nd pairing last year.
If you watched hockey you would know that.
He's serviceable in limited role on his natural side. And for 1-2 years it's a solid move. You dump him to seattle who you have to give a player and a sweetener keep off your good players after that.
This is not a long term deal, it's short term to help fill the gap, they can easily do this and it's worth the effort.</div></div>

Jack Johnson is literally one of the worst players in the league, no matter what side he plays on, end of discussion.

The fact that you even try to defend him shows you are a deluded idiot that has no clue what you're talking about

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>that's nonsense. Vegas took a lot of players that were junk for a pick. Because they had to take someone and that's how teams work it out. Colorado is giving that up anyway, which is the part you are unwilling to admit. At a minimum they will give up a 2nd to keep Seattle off players they want to keep. What do they get for the 2nd, a 2.7 million cap dump because seattle HAS to pick A player. It's fair.
On top of it, saying COL got nothing is clearly untrue. They get a fill in guy to come in and play who is easily movable and at a low cap hit. It costs COL virtually nothing the 1st year as the replacement is basically the cost of the LTIR on Cole. The second year is 1.7 roughly on the cap if sent down, with the hopes someone else in the same boat aka needing a replacement for 1 year picks him up. Given how things go he may actually stay that year in COL if he plays well. He is going to end up in Seattle everyone knows this. Seattle gets a pick, and a defense man at 2.7 million for 2 years. That's not a huge cap dump or issue.
You make this out to be more than it is. It's 2 years tops. It costs virtually nothing, and it fills a hole which right now looks very uncertain.</div></div>

Honestly, Seattle would have a choice between taking either Zadorov or Compher/Burakovsky, possibly more assets if they acquire some - taking either one of them is worth more than Johnson+2nd.

No one is taking Johnson without shedding some cap themselves. Considering what he brings, there is assets available that bring the same that he does in a much more sensible contract. As long as players like Lovejoy, Stone, Girardi, Petrovic etc. are available for basically no cost, no one is taking Johnson without compensation. There's virtually no level difference between these guys, but there could be potentially several million bucks in difference financially.

She’s right about JJ being physical and a good shot blocker, but that’s about it. Honestly, don’t even debate with <a href="/users/pharrow" target="_blank">@pharrow</a>. Every time you disagree with her, she becomes so aggressive and ends up bashing you. I think she may be left handed and have autism, since these types of people commonly behave this way.

If he was you wouldn't dump him for a 7th and every PIT ACGM wouldn't be focused on dumping him.</div></div>
