If Johansen is as good as he thinks he is, the Jackets will be happy to sign him for $6+ in 3 years.
If he turns out to be a one-hit wonder, they let him go UFA.
Meanwhile, they have him for 3 years at a bridge-type price.
I fail to see how it's a bad move for the Jackets. Seems like everyone got kind of what they wanted here.
