Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Johnson joins powerhouse team on a PTO
The Boston Bruins made a significant move today by signing Tyler Johnson to a player tryout contract as the NHL season approaches.
Reports confirm that the Bruins are adding offensive depth by bringing in Johnson for a tryout. The team has been looking to strengthen their forward group, and this signing could help achieve that.
Over the past three seasons, Johnson has been a veteran leader for the Chicago Blackhawks during their rebuild. Despite dealing with health issues, he consistently put up 30 points each season.
During his prime with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Johnson was a standout top-six forward, peaking at 72 points. He brings veteran experience and could be a valuable addition to the Bruins' middle-six lineup.
The key question is whether Johnson can stay healthy throughout the season. If he does, this could turn out to be a great signing. However, since this is only a tryout contract, Johnson will need to prove himself during the preseason to secure a spot on the roster. If he plays at his best, he has a good chance of making the team.
