Wild Claim Nick Johnson Off Waivers from Penguins
The Minnesota Wild announced on Thursday that they have claimed right wing Nick Johnson off waivers from the Pittsburgh Penguins. In four games last season with the Penguins, he had one goal and two assists for three points. He also appeared in 48 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL, scoring 20 goals and 19 assists for 39 points. He missed the last 23 games of the regular season and all seven of Pittsburgh's playoff games with a concussion. Not a bad pickup for the Wild, as Johnson has good size, works hard on the ice, and has a little offensive upside. If he secures a roster spot with the Wild for this upcoming season, it will likely be as a fourth-line complimentary winger.

Penguins Sign Nick Johnson to One-Year Contract
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced today that they have signed right wing Nick Johnson to a one-year, two-way contract worth $550,000. He would have been a group six unrestricted free agent on July 1. In four games this past season with the Penguins, Johnson had one goal and two assists for three points. He missed the last 23 games of the regular season and all seven of Pittsburgh's playoff games with a concussion. He also appeared in 48 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL last season, scoring 20 goals and 19 assists for 39 points. Not a bad depth signing for the Penguins, as Johnson has good size, works hard on the ice, and has a little offensive upside. Any ice time he sees with the Penguins next season will likely be on the fourth line as a complimentary winger.

Penguins Sign Forward Johnson to One-Year Deal
The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that they have signed right wing Nick Johnson to a one-year, two-way contract. The deal will pay him $500,000 at the NHL level. He would have been eligible for restricted free agency on July 1. In six games last season with the Penguins, Johnson's first in the NHL, he scored one goal and one assist for two points. He also appeared in 61 games with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL, scoring 16 goals and 27 assists for 43 points. This is really nothing more than a depth signing for the Penguins. He does have some scoring upside, so Johnson will be a good fit for the team's AHL affiliate next season. If he plays any games with the Penguins next season, it will likely be in the event of an injury to one of their regular forwards.
