Would have rather had Mason for free.
If Johnson comes back then we are no better than last year and down another 2nd and a prospect. Lateral move and gave us assets in the process. Mason was also a lateral move and wouldn't have had to give up anything.
We'll see how it plays out but as of right now I'm not a fan

Having no goaltender is by far worse than giving up a second or 3rd round pick lol. Mason's been very inconsistent over the years and what's this free stuff you speak of. Mason would have probably come with $$$$$ and term.
