Details emerging on Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel’s apparent rocky, complicated relationship

Also, JJ is still on the paid roster, so...

And from that graph, Justin Schultz is still on the roster

But that is funny how he blamed all his issues with JJ and Kessel. I bet they are the ones that told him to do this awful blind drop passes at the blue line.
Wow I can't believe in some weird way I am actually defending JJ on anything!

Zachary Lauzon se prépare pour sa deuxième vie - TVA Sports

Sad situation hopefully he gets better some day.
IE...For non French speakers...He had to retire at 20 due to issues from concussions.

A 32-year old defenseman with 800+ NHL games doesn’t improve his skating in a summer, if anything the passage of time is only going to erode skills of a normal player by this point. Playing on his forehand side should be better than playing off-handed, but it’s not as if Johnson is capable of making tape-to-tape passes reliably on either side. “The system” isn’t and wasn’t Jack Johnson’s problem, and as Erik Gudbranson and Marcus Pettersson proved last season it’s far from impossible to come in and play well in Pittsburgh. Jack Johnson being bad at hockey is the problem.

So, as @puckhead has said numerous times, Jack Johnson sucks?!?

Just remember there is always one GM dumber that you.....this was GMJR’s thought when he signed Johnson.

 

[dare2be]

So, who else do we have to give up to get rid of him? Or will it be a straight up JJ for Matt Cooke?

He's retired, you say? Still a good deal.

 

[dare2be]

Better yet, dress him in a Dumoulin jersey and see if can get CBJ to take him back.
