Jack Johnson signing with the Montreal Canadiens is still in the ‘speculation’ category. Elliotte Friedman brought the possibility to light, and Bob McKenzie spread it out a little. He didn’t say for a fact that the Habs are indeed interested, and neither did Friedman, but that the Habs are looking to add to their blueline.
We’ve already looked at the fit for Johnson on this team in a previous post. To make a long story short, it wouldn’t be worth it. Montreal has young pieces on defence looking to improve. However, if free agency is still a target for Marc Bergevin, signing a Calvin de Haan makes a lot more sense.
