Hey Tony,  tell us what you really think..   LOL!!!

How can you complain about Johnson when CBJ liked him better than they liked Jiricek. We gave CBJ a haul for Jiricek and got Johnson for nothing. What could possibly go wrong?

How about we offer Johnson back to CBJ for Voronkov? 😉for Pewter

I really think that Lambos will beat him out. But what does this say about Peart? There was no doubt Peart wasn't close to ready. Or what about Kiersted? He's supposed to be better competition for Lambos. 

From Johnson's perspective, he wants to show others he's still got enough game to remain in the N. I see it as an extra TC body, and that he doesn't make the team.

Move on, nothing to see here.

You never know.  He might get Bogo's "Dead Cat Bounce" and actually play so well, he can be an emergency goalie.

I seriously doubt the Wild are thinking that Jack Johnson is here to play opening day.  They are thinking that this is competition.  Competition to push the other defenders not named Faber, Spurgeon, Brodin, Middleton to actually play in training camp.  You would assume that no mater how Buium plays in camp he will be on the opening day roster.  That leaves two solid spots, and a third with Brodin probably not starting the season, open for someone to step in.  Bogo will be on the roster weather he plays or not is up to Lambos, Jiricek, Spacek, Masters, etc. to step up and make the roster in St. Paul.

If nobody steps up in camp they could always fall back on Jack Johnson, and god forbid Jon Merrill .
