He is seen primarily as a depth add, on a Bruins team who despite their lack of it prior to Johnson's arrival fought their way into the NHL post-season.
Just shy of a berth to the Eastern Conference Finals. With Matthew Potras, Georgii Merkulov, and Fabian Lysell available, will John find himself with a job after camp or will he be a future Providence Bruin?
Either way, it's difficult to see where he can be an addition, maybe on the 3rd line if he does beat Lysell or Poitras in camp.
Johnson is a two-time Stanley Cup Champion and arrived in Chicago after the Brandon Hagel trade.
