Dude.... If you think Ottawa is taking $6M of cap hit off your hands for a player that has less than 30 points? Never going to happen. If Staios does give that a shot? It will only be because they deem Norris out for the entire season. If they did deem him out for the season, Philly is retaining $2M and throwing in a top prospect or 1st round pick. If you will recall the price Briere wanted for taking Joseph and his rwmaining contract on? They wanted a 1st rounder or Tyler Boucher who was a 1st rounder.... Joseph's cap hit is $3.25M... So come on lets be realistic here.... If Ottawa is taking on Johansson at $6M a season.... It's going to cost Philly an absolute fortune.

Johansson's cap hit would be only 2M. The preds are retaining 50% of it already.

That definitely makes a big difference for sure =) That would be a solid move I stand corrected. Wasn't aware Nashville retained 50% already as I said that would be a big difference for sure appologies =)

Meh Johanson was a good player but that time has long gone. Guy skates like he has cement in his skates. Think Ottawa could spend 2m on a better player

This would be kind of a backup plan if Ottawa can't sign any good UFAs.
