Jack Johnson to be next salary cap casualty?
Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports The holiday was yesterday but for Pittsburgh Penguins’ fans the real celebration might still be yet to come this summer. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period was on 93.7 The Fan Wednesday afternoon talking about the Pens and one of the topics mentioned was the potential trade of Jack Johnson.
Pagnotta mentioned how “if” Pittsburgh needs to clear up some salary space (which sounds more like a “when” then an if, really) that Johnson will probably be the one to go and the team may have given Johnson’s camp a bit of a head’s up and early notice that a trad could be in the works.
Pagnotta put at “50/50” chance on Johnson returning to the Pens or getting traded.
