Quoting: DiehardRedWingsFan58
Yeah that's even if Seattle wants him, He's going to be 31 years old next year he's been trending down. He's going to make $5 million per for 3 more years. Doubt Seattle takes him without the team holding his rights rather Tampa or another team adds a sweetener to to take him off their hands.
I am enjoying people saying Johnson isn't worth $5 million.
2 years ago I suggested Johnson be signed to a "show me" deal (a year removed from the 72 point campaign, and I am far too lazy to find the ancient thread), and I was summarily roasted for the suggestion.
Let's fast foward for all those that chastised me...... so I can say I was right.
Point is...... Johnson at $3-3.5 million I think interests a a few of teams. The emergence of players like Cirelli and Kucherov have moved him down the depth chart. Now, I am not saying the guy really is a 70 point player, but 40-50 is still in the wheel house..... just not paying $5 million for that.
He's gonna waive to play. That's a given. Just see more.options than people think is Brisebois is willing to dance.
