[Norm - Tampa Bay]

Why not keep johnson, on the bench instead of giving a penalty to the team.

Kinda agree with norm. Goaltending is not easy to get here and Johnson has been decent the last few years while on crappy teams. He's a more than reliable back up goaltender.

I think moves regarding NYR, same as they are with any team that gets governed by a 3rd party should be kept to a minimum and just essential. ie. contracts lowered, resign to minimal terms, no signing of FA, no trades, set line ups, and add FA only when IR moves are required. until a gm takes over. My 2 cents.

[Tom - Washington]

Good suggestion on Johnson. I will move him to the pro team rather then dropping him. The past NY roster was not legal as they had 4 goalies in the minors plus some guys on the ESPN roster not on Topshelf. Also Johnson wasn't minor eligable because of too many games played.

I am planning minimal moves but if this goes into the season I am going to add FA to keep the roster full. The team will only become harder to fill if we let it get worse through inactivity.
