I think the hate on Johnny would have been quite a bit less had he signed with the Devils. It is his home state where he has an offseason home, they are a team with young talent and good prospects. When he went with Columbus it didn’t sit right for many Flames fans who would have understood the Devils or Flyers. Losing to Columbus for less money and not being super close to home was a weird choice.

I really enjoy seeing the Jackets be no good and hopefully they bury themselves early only to go on a late run to draft 12th overall.
