He only got better in Calgary with the system going on around him… don’t get married guys
PlanningMyDeath
It’s like -50 with wind chill. I’m sure he’s glad to have escaped this hellscape.
hituphartsy
No and we/he need to collectively move on
Synyster_Suds
No, I’ve used this analogy before but it fits.
Johnny had the chance to stay here and be Superman and just wanted to be Clark Kent instead.
I don’t think he cares about winning a cup. If it happens by some miracle, it happens. He just wants to make his money playing hockey and have some privacy in his life when he’s out and about in public.

Personally I wish people would get the fuck over him already
Rig-Pig
His wife won’t allow thoughts like that.
Plus I don’t care what he’s doing.

You mean johnny paycheck?

Fun fact: Johnny hates flying. Hates traveling.
Less-Hunter7043
He got what he wanted. His primary motivator isn’t and never was winning, his primary motivator is his family and Columbus works for that motive
Independent_Ad8268
Let’s move on guys
Party_Ebb9672
He’s a idiot to leave the flames
Brookie069
Nah, he’s happy. Is somewhere he wants to live, married, starting a family. He’s got enough money to live out his days.
Still a little surprised he chose Columbus over Philly or New Jersey, but whatever works for him. He’s close to home either way.
GovernmentHunting016
He never cared about winning and just wanted lower taxes in a place that faces little scrutiny
kobedziuba
Let’s trade for him 😌

What happened happened. Time for a new identity

That picture is one of regret. lol.

Good riddance

This guy is a moron
Let his career dwindle

How could he not a bit ? Even if most of the general public don’t know who he is in Columbus, But everyone from the nhl knows and lots of North Americans know that he just totally sucked on a egg a little too hard after Calgary.

I think being from the states, he was tired of canadian politics, and opted to be closer to home.

Dude looks like Bruno from Encanto now – we don’t talk about Johnny, no no…

God damn, everyone in this thread looks so sour.
It is literally titled a shit post. All the people commenting saying “just fucking move on!!” Obviously are still sour about it.
The guy lived the majority of his 20’s here and was a celebrity, it was not his fault the flames could not produce a cup contending team around him.
He met his wife and chose to move to a non hockey dominated market, make good money, and not be hounded by the media. Good on him

To play for a middling hockey team currently shopping around its top players because it’s been unexpectedly forced into a rebuild?
Probably not.
Imagine the absolute media shit storm he would currently be in if he was still a flame.

Fuck em, but thanks for the memories.

Some guys just wanna hide on a shit team and collect their pay cheque.

He went to Columbus to hear the cannon go off, and he’s not even making the cannon go off. Definitely one of the strangest free agent decisions in NHL history.
arcticfox
Don’t care.
Previous-Exit8449
I think he left because he was afraid of the Coilers
Flux_resistor
Johnny just wants to go home!

Should have gone to Boston
mericdeunier
Sucks to suck.

The guy passed up millions of extra dollars to stay with a Stanley Cup contender to sign for considerably less with a team in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes.
He doesn’t want to play here.
SovietHockeyFan
No. He’s close enough to family and I cannot stress enough how cheap it is to live in central Ohio

No
