we’ve come full circle!! the last time we got ourselves going again JJ was here.
Remember when we joking about signing Jack Johnson as a depth 3rd pairing defenseman?
I remember.
IM BACKKKKKK
Welcome back Jack!
Aaaaaaand there’s our veteran depth defenseman. Welcome home Jack. It’s almost like you never left.
😂 Welcome back, JJ!
Because I can see the twitter rage coming a mile away…it’s at vet minimum. He’s just a body for injury cover
No way lmao. Welcome back!
lol I really just read “poor guy has to go to Columbus”
Should I tell them?
This is probably fine. League min, locker room guy. Imo shows trust in our younger dmen. We could have gone out of our way for a higher tier guy here, but JJ will almost def play bottom pair
Not uh, the defensive signing I was expecting.
No offense to JJ, I love the man, but was there anyone else?
He was the one that kickstarted our culture change when he first arrived, just saying.
Who’s to say he won’t do it again
Im really glad he’s back
Johnson – Gudbranson is going to be an interesting experience when we inevitably roll that doozy out.
Cheap tank commander + strong locker room guy = good signing in my eyes.
Will Kuraly give him his 7 back? Or is he gonna be wearing something else?
Nice signing. Quality guy
wat
Hope he brings some of that winning culture with him
Really surprised at the support here. I don’t hate the guy, but not even remotely a decent player.
He’s a bit of a dipshit for the “winning culture” comments but he’s 37 and he’s probably gonna play on the 3rd pair as a roster guy. Veteran and all that, one year for league minimum it’s fine guys.
Not crazy about the things he had to say about the organization on his way out. They helped him out tremendously with his legal and financial troubles when his parents bankrupted him. They didn’t have to at all, they could’ve let him die on the vine.
He wasn’t grateful then, maybe he will be now.
STANLEY CUP WINNER JMFJ
Love Jack, don’t hate the deal, he continues to secure the bag – Wins all around I say.
Honestly JMFJ was one of my favorite players from the Richards era. Dude has been through a lot.
Welcome back Jack!
Lmfao I can break out my old Reebok JJ cannon jersey!
Jack gonna make sure they don’t let the parents manage their money.
Oh fuck, welcome home Jack!!
I love this. Like I said on another site, park Jiricek and Mateychuk next to him on every flight.
Bad move. Objectively, feelings removed.
Alright someone took my joke seriously.
Ohh well glad he is back
No one thought to tell Waddell what JJ said on his way out? Well, I guess it’s another veteran to help the young ones find their way.
Good ol U of M boy.
I’m actually ok with this
Too bad I got it when he was 7, but my JJ jersey is relevant again!!
I’ve been sittin’, waiting, wishin’
You believed in superstitions
And maybe for a year you’d sign
Annnnnnd that’s another Wolverine 😂
I’m fuckin’ PUMPED. No joke. JJ was my boy when he was here. I’m thrilled that he got a cup and seems to have played his way through the troubled road he got stuck on. Welcome home, dude.
It’s league minimum, it’s fine. Good for him. Having said that, if he plays over 30 games for us, it means we’re probably having injury problems/not having a good year. Would like to see one more 5/6 D signed.
“I wish we had this guy 7 years ago”
“We did”
“12 years ago then”
I’d have rather brought Atkinson back even if we ended up playing him on defense hahaha.
Funny enough Sitting, Waiting, Wishing perfectly summarizes being a Jackets fan
