He won't come here to simply play with his college friends/linemates. That stuff doesn't happen. Johnny is an elite top 6 player and Arnold may fit on the third or fourth line C. He may even move to the wing at camp. Hayes would have to battle Hudler/Colborne/Ferland/Poirier for the spot.
It's not as easy as it seems here for him. Plus we will likely be a lottery team again. Boston has Erickson moving over to RW and little else. Him being from there and at least a good enough opportunity to crack their lineup as ours, makes me believe he will sign there.
