Johnson signed a one-year, $950,000 contract with the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Scouting Report
The third player taken (after Sidney Crosby and Bobby Ryan) in the 2005 NHL Draft is still a good skater as he moves through his mid-30s, though he has never been the kind of offensive threat his draft status implied he would be. He is still a physical presence but has been known to take himself out of position to make a hit. At this stage of his career, he needs to keep his game simple to succeed. Excels on the penalty kill.
Long Range Potential: Veteran depth defenseman.
