Thank goodness. Also not offering Simon. They did offer Matt Murray.

News is from Pens’ FB feed.

i didn't understand the hate for JJ. He was a slow, stay at home dman, but had his solid moments. Not upset he's gone, but hopefully, they bring someone in with his savings. Simon, later gator. He should have been a 4th liner at best. Sid couldn't even save him.

Don't hate JAck Johnson. Just never thought he was very good. And let's face it, that contract sucked. Especially for all the more return the Pens got.

It did, but I think Sid had something to do with that signing. Didn't work out. Time to move on. Couldn't trade him for a bag of pucks.

I agree it was more about the contract than the player. Too much for too long for a player of Johnson's caliber.

He was our most physical D player. That's sad to say.

I hope we pick up hitters. Tired of the girl scout defense.

JJ wasn’t good nor bad. This roster decision is what it is

Without Horny and JJ.... the Pens are now without any question, the softest team in the league.
