2025 Fantasy Outlook
In 2024-25, Johnson was a major reason why the Blue Jackets nearly shocked the hockey world and made the Stanley Cup Playoffs, coming up just a game short. Still a young guy at just 22 years old, Johnson will hope to be the beneficiary of a Blue Jackets squad that, ahead of schedule and with loads of cap space, will look to make some moves this offseason under second-year head coach Dean Evason. If Johnson continues to play with fellow former Michigan Wolverine Adam Fantilli on a line, the two could become a formidable duo moving forward. With a role in the top-six and on the power play seemingly cemented, a 30-goal, 40-assist season for the fifth pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft is not out of the question next year for the Blue Jackets' budding young star.

Signed a three-year, $5.4 million contract with the Blue Jackets in July of 2024.
Back in action Thursday
Johnson will return to the lineup Thursday after being a healthy scratch Tuesday in Seattle, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
It was thought that Johnson missed Tuesday's game with an illness, but head coach Dean Evason said that was not the case. Johnson will replace Boone Jenner (upper body) in the lineup. Johnson is off to a mediocre start with two goals, three assists and a minus-eight rating in 15 appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024

2022
While a shoulder injury cost Johnson the last 24 games of the season, his offensive production underwhelmed prior to getting hurt. In 42 outings, the creative 21-year-old managed just 16 points and would have missed the 40-point threshold even if he had been able to finish out the year. Fantasy managers will certainly be justified in chalking up Johnson's poor season to a sophomore slump on a team lacking supporting talent. The expected departure of Patrik Laine could free up a spot in the top six for Johnson, assuming his shoulder problem doesn't linger into the 2024-25 campaign. With a full season, Johnson should return to being a 40-50-point player, making him a strong buy-low candidate.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Playing at Worlds
Johnson will join Team Canada for the 2025 IIHF World Championship, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Johnson is coming off a career year that saw him register personal bests across the board with 24 goals, 33 assists and 15 power-play points. The 22-year-old center didn't make Canada's roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off, but he does have Olympic experience on his resume after scoring five points in five games for Canada during the 2022 Winter Olympics. A strong performance at Worlds could bolster his chances of making the 2026 Olympics roster.
