Zacha will be to the wing this year, probably LW with Lindholm and Pasta, but Bs need a second line RW, they hope for a young gun to step up, Lysell, Merkulov, Duran.... but some PTO to get more competition it s never a bad thing

I think this has more to do with Poitras ramping back up than it does Zacha. Zacha was likely going back to first line left wing when they signed Lindholm.
Don’t have an issue with Johnson. It’s just a PTO. Camp competition is a good thing for everyone.

Said before that this was a move that I was open to. Competition for Lysell. I like it.
I like the signing. His career faceoff win % isn't the greatest at 49.4. I remember him being a pretty good player for Tampa though.

I don't think this has anything to do with Poitras. He plays like he did last season, Matt is on the team.
I think this has everything to do with competition on RW. Which I think we needed.

Nice message to Lysell, hopefully he gets it. Johnson is a nice choice for a PTO

16 pts on PP, 15 at ES. Don't see him on the PP over Pasta.
Waste of ink, and paper, it was written on.
Very smart move you can't rely on so many Providence players in rookies to all be productive we are very thin up front this is an experienced guy playing with good players could help us out much rather someone like him then anybody they have in Providence

Makes sense in case the kid(s) don't step up there's another option.
Heinen worked big time so why not, the more competition the better.

Some people like to overstate, but you are right, and if he is the competition for the Providence kids and he beats them out then they should seek employment elsewhere, and the main club has more problems the just signing a goaltender.

Love it - for what they need it's a perfect PTO
Hopefully they can take the next step, if not...

A former Triplet in Tampa, good no risk move.

It's rare when you can find a player willing to sign on for a try out when they are still showing how undersized and washed up they are.

And you’re understating it. This kind of move just drives me insane.
