Predators Sign Defenseman Aaron Johnson

The Nashville Predators have announced that they have signed defenseman Aaron Johnson to a one-year, two-way contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 41 games last season with the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers, he had four goals and six assists for 10 points and 35 penalty minutes. Not a bad depth signing for the Predators, as Johnson will bring some toughness and offensive skill to the blueline. If he makes the team next season, he will likely be the seventh defenseman.
