Thread: Johnson Sucks
The Pens will spend to the salary cap this year despite what you may have heard. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that they will be spending all of that on actual salary. Kapanen only costs $2.1 million in actual salary the next two years, whereas his cap hit is $3.2 million (signing bonus paid by Toronto).

Johnson's contract is similar; he will be getting paid less than his cap hit. Advanced stats or regular, he is AWFUL. There's only one team I can think of that might be interested, and that is Ottawa. They will be garbage the next two years, and they lost some LTIR players so they will need help hitting the cap floor. Melnyk (the owner) is super cheap.

GMJR will try to move Bjugstad, because his salary will be $5.25 million, while his cap hit will be only $4.1 million. A big market team can afford that extra million plus, but who will want him?
