    we’ve come full circle!! the last time we got ourselves going again JJ was here.

    Remember when we joking about signing Jack Johnson as a depth 3rd pairing defenseman? 

    I remember. 

  3. Aaaaaaand there’s our veteran depth defenseman. Welcome home Jack. It’s almost like you never left.

  4. 😂 Welcome back, JJ!

    Because I can see the twitter rage coming a mile away…it’s at vet minimum. He’s just a body for injury cover

  5. Seattlekrakenlegend

    lol I really just read “poor guy has to go to Columbus”

    Should I tell them?

  6. This is probably fine. League min, locker room guy. Imo shows trust in our younger dmen. We could have gone out of our way for a higher tier guy here, but JJ will almost def play bottom pair

    Not uh, the defensive signing I was expecting.

    No offense to JJ, I love the man, but was there anyone else?

  8. He was the one that kickstarted our culture change when he first arrived, just saying.

    Who’s to say he won’t do it again

  9. Johnson – Gudbranson is going to be an interesting experience when we inevitably roll that doozy out.

  10. Cheap tank commander + strong locker room guy = good signing in my eyes.

    Will Kuraly give him his 7 back? Or is he gonna be wearing something else?

  12. sergei-boobtitsky

    Hope he brings some of that winning culture with him

    Not crazy about the things he had to say about the organization on his way out. They helped him out tremendously with his legal and financial troubles when his parents bankrupted him. They didn’t have to at all, they could’ve let him die on the vine.

    He wasn’t grateful then, maybe he will be now.

    Love Jack, don’t hate the deal, he continues to secure the bag – Wins all around I say.

  15. Honestly JMFJ was one of my favorite players from the Richards era. Dude has been through a lot.

    Welcome back Jack!

    Lmfao I can break out my old Reebok JJ cannon jersey!

  17. Jack gonna make sure they don’t let the parents manage their money.

  18. willingplankton

    I love this. Like I said on another site, park Jiricek and Mateychuk next to him on every flight.

  19. EverlastingEvening

    Alright someone took my joke seriously.

    Ohh well glad he is back

  20. austinD93

    Too bad I got it when he was 7, but my JJ jersey is relevant again!!

  21. I’ve been sittin’, waiting, wishin’

    You believed in superstitions

    And maybe for a year you’d sign 

  22. P-Rickles

    I’m fuckin’ PUMPED. No joke. JJ was my boy when he was here. I’m thrilled that he got a cup and seems to have played his way through the troubled road he got stuck on. Welcome home, dude.

  23. unbentcrawdad

    It’s league minimum, it’s fine. Good for him. Having said that, if he plays over 30 games for us, it means we’re probably having injury problems/not having a good year. Would like to see one more 5/6 D signed.

    “I wish we had this guy 7 years ago”

    “We did”

    “12 years ago then”

  25. Spyingeagle3

    Funny enough Sitting, Waiting, Wishing perfectly summarizes being a Jackets fan

    Welcome back, Jack!

  26. r0ckdrummersrock

    Ho-ly. Sh-it.

    I had his shirtsey that I used to wear under my jerseys to every game I would go to. Then he got traded to the pens and I swore I wouldn’t wear it again until he retired. Welp. Funny how the universe works. I also bought a signed stick of his at some point in the interim which I am even more psyched to have now.

    Welcome Back Jack! (JMFJ RETURNS!)

    Also I wonder Sid is gonna have to say about this. 😛

  27. That’s Stanley Cup champion Jack Johnson to you, pal.

    Memes aside, I actually don’t hate this. Sturdy 3rd pairing depth defense that’s good for the locker room and just a good dude, in general.

  28. Dkoop2003

    Who knew that the real “winning culture” was here all along? /s

    Also, I wonder what number he’ll wear since Kurls has 7. perhaps 77?

    #THATS STANLEY CUP CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON TO YOU. HAVE SOME RESPECT.
