Good job Hank

Option is there but I don't think Levi would do it
Even so is he ready to join the big club.

From last blog

Lindros comparison

Injury prone

Don't know if he's ever going to be as good as Mario
But he sure has that look

I'd say it's the expectation that he joins the NHL team and burns a year. It's the norm for a college signing.

The great Jason Kasdorf signed after his senior year, joined the Sabres and played a game. Countless examples of position players.

Thx. I was a little too young to see Super Mario in his prime (I was born in '90 and he retired for the first time when I was 7). I don't see the Lindros comp, personally. Lindros was a bull in the china shop. Tage is a precision howitzer with ridiculous finesse.

I have no comp. I don't think the league has ever seen a guy like 6'7" Tage Thompson

Maybe Johnson wants to sign to be a part of an exciting team

0 - 0 after one, but Toronto just played a 20 minute clinic on LA.

I don't know how that team is going to manage to lose in the 1st round this season, but they will.

Fair point.

And the Leafs just drop 3 goals in 1:06


Hockey is fun to watch like the 1980s again.

Just curious. I appreciate your opinion.

Johnson might want to join an upcoming team and youthful promising defense.

Johnson could want more playing time and see the Sabres as a log jam.

I'm thinking logjam- not good

log jam? They are desperate for a better 3LD and have no one in the system. Easy path to the NHL.
