Hey there, passionate Leafs fans! We’ve got some exciting news that will leave you wanting more. But before we jump into it, we want to ask you something. How do you think the team performed in the championship? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
Now, let’s talk about Kyle Dubas, the former general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Since parting ways with the Leafs, he’s been making moves as the President of Hockey Operations for the Pittsburgh Penguins. And guess what? He’s scooped up another former Leafs player for the Pens. Can you guess who it is?
It’s none other than Andreas Johnsson! The Penguins recently announced that they’ve signed the talented left-winger to a one-year deal worth $800,000. Johnsson, who played for the New Jersey Devils and San Jose Sharks last season, became an unrestricted free agent.
But here’s the interesting part: Johnsson will reunite with Dubas in Pittsburgh. They share a history of success together, as they won the Calder Cup with the Toronto Marlies in 2017-18. That season, Johnsson showcased his skills with an impressive 26 goals and 28 assists in 54 games, making him a point-per-game player.
During his time with the Leafs, Johnsson had his best NHL season, scoring 20 goals and providing 23 assists. He played a total of 125 games in blue and white, recording 67 points. After his stint with the Leafs, Johnsson was traded to the Devils in 2020.
Now, with the Penguins, Johnsson has the opportunity to re-establish himself as a full-time NHL player. He’ll likely start as a fourth-line player alongside center Noel Acciari. And who knows, they might even have another new Dubas’ acquisition, right-winger Matthew Nieto, on their line!
