I have no issue with him going home. He earned that right and gave us years of entertainment and excitement. But the manner in which he’s leaving is gonna leave a sour taste for a while. Basically handcuffed the team to not be able to do anything substantial until the 2023 draft. I think this is worse than Tavares because at least tavares left a bubble team that had no real cup aspirations. Johnny is leaving a team that just won the division and was slated for a conference finals appearance if Markstrom had played like himself.
