Jack Johnson\'s contract status

[Nehithaw]

What is the probability that he signs and plays in 07-08? I\'m thinking that it is almost guaranteed, but what is the word on this? I\'m contemplating drafting him in a keeper league (salary cap) , and an entry level contract is that much more appealing. Also with Blake and Visnovsky on the team, what are JJ\'s projected point totals, +/- and PIMS? He\'s very similar to Phaneuf in style but likely would not be the main guy on the L.A powerplay

Thanks

from some decent sources, I hear he is signing for sure. I personally think he signs, too. Excited to see what kind of impact he can have. Extremely talented.

At the World Juniors in Vancouver last winter, he showed great skills and grit, and more entertainingly, humour. While the crowd booed vigourously, he skated around the rink holding his arms aloft in sarcastic appreciation... Enough for me to try to get him on my team...

I hope to see Bieksa-like production from him almost immediately... Any thoughts?

I think he\'ll play next year and get 50 points right off the bat.
