I could be convinced that no retention is necessary but if you go to other scenarios involving Johnson you've got people saying moving Johnson starts with a first so this scenario was my compromise on the two. I think a second and bjorkqvist could get the job done. I also want to be clear I don't think Rutherford would do any retention because he doesn't seem to want to admit that the deal was a mistake but this was just another scenario to move his contract. Also the retention made the contract exactly like Hunwicks from a few years back so there was that factor as well for why I chose the 1 million in retention.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>5th for Johnson ($1M ret), Bjorkqvist, 2nd

Honestly, you get the pick of one: Bjorkqvist, 2nd, $1M ret. ... NOT all three, not even two.

But Crosby is not letting Johnson get traded so it is irrelevant. The sooner Pens fans accept this the sooner you can move on.</div></div>

I don't think you understand that trade with Johnson. The penguins would be giving up a prospect (evaluate that prospect how you will but he's been mentioned in other AGMs), the 2nd, and retaining value on Johnson's deal. Now if you want to say a 5th is too much for that sure you could convince me to drop that to a 6th or 7th. I don't think Crosby is the one pining for Johnson to be on this team anymore I'm sure he'd like for his friend to stick around and I'm also sure given a player of his stature he probably doesn't feel one guy is an anchor on the team like a fan base does but since the season ended there is one guy Crosby has told Rutherford to not move and that's Malkin. I honestly don't think Johnson gets moved but this is just a scenario not something that I definitely think is going to happen.
