A proven scorer at the junior level who has transitioned nicely to the NHL
Johnston is being used at ES and the PP. He was used on the PK in junior. Not likely to PK as a pro. His ability to find open space in the offensive speaks to his hockey sense
Pucks come off his stick quickly and accurately
Room for more quickness out of the gate. Not a burner / transition threat between the blue lines but also not slow. An average (+) NHL skater. Element is offense.
