There is a rumor out there that the Penguins will be signing d-man Jack Johnson to a 3 year deal worth 3.25M per with the cap space they cleared...however, I have it from a good source that Montreal is willing to put more per year on the table for Johnson...
I know Jack Johnson and Sid Crosby are close, and that is why I believe people are saying this is a foregone conclusion...I am not sold on that yet. It may of course end up being the case, but I know Montreal had been leading the Jack Johnson talk right up until today...
On the Sens...
Capital Sports Holdings Inc., the parent company of the Senators announced that it has completed a $135 Million financing of a six-year senior term debt with a syndicate of financial institutions. The use of proceeds is to pursue growth, serve general corporate purposes and to replace existing debt. This could possibly be the money used to sign Karlsson, or could lead to a shift in the ownership for the Senators...
