With the rampant “reports” and “sources” that place the Pittsburgh Penguins about to sign veteran free agent defenseman Jack Johnson on Sunday, we reached out to our friends at Jackets Cannon. Pale Dragon was there with some snappy answers.
If you know or have read anything about Johnson, it’s that he barely can tie his skates and sometimes remembers which end of the hockey stick to place on the ice. You would think he’s that bad from reading the reports and looking at all sorts of charts and graphs and designs. But we wanted to see from the Blue Jackets perspective, the folks that know him best, what their thoughts were and if the narratives and talking points on Johnson are credible from their perspective.
