Screams that type of deal. Yzerman doesn't give a s*** about winning he's just signing bargain players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonHakan 40 Report post Posted October 9, 2020 Just now, amato said: i'm guessing the allure for Ryan is being able to compete for a top six spot on a prove yourself deal. probably not a lot of teams willing to offer him that. Exactly. "Ryan I'm giving you top line minutes to revive your career after boozin a floozin in Ottawa." "Done" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those two ripped it up last year together. I'm not against getting Johnson, but it would be stupid to claim him when they could sign him as a UFA for a less and shorter term. Yzerman's connection with him likely helps as well. 2 LeftWinger and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A defensively responsible d-man who immediately helps the current team in the short-term and helps younger guys learn and is only signed for a season. Oh, and he's only 28. 1 LeftWinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,959 Report post Posted October 9, 2020 If Turris and Mantha have so much chemistry, then lets do it. Right now, all of our projected top 6 players are interchangeable on the 1st and 2nd line. 2 Rick D and SwedeLundin77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
