CHAD JOHNSON - Goalie - 33 - UFA in 2019-2020
LAST UPDATED 7/8/19
While he has normally been a reliable backup over the course of his NHL career, Chad Johnson has regressed heavily since the 2016-17 season. He has not posted a sv% above .900 since then, and had a terrible -12.41 GSAA in only 19 starts this past season. That's nearly one less goal saved than average per game. At 33 years old, and as a UFA, Johnson's future is incredibly uncertain, and it's unlikely a team will sign him to be their backup, as his reputation as a strong backup is mostly gone. Still, though, Johnson has a large career body of work suggesting that he is a capable NHL netminder, so a team giving him a shot would not be surprising. It would most likely be a rebuilding team looking to grow a young netminder, though.
