Johnston was not on the Penguins' initial candidate list, or at least wasn't reported to be. After admitting the Penguins had lost out on their first attempt to hire a coach -- presumably Willie Desjardins, who signed with Vancouver -- the Penguins re-opened the search and Rutherford said some new candidates would emerge. Johnston appears to be one of those and clearly it was close to love at first sight.

 
Lol so he wasn't even on their list at first

 

[Mr.Baller]

I'm not sure about this move .... The future in Pittsburgh isn't looking that good right now
