Sean Gentille in The Athletic on Johnson et al.

[sergei]

Some highlights

"Johnson’s teams get better when he leaves; the Kings, after trading him in 2012, won two Stanley Cups in three years. The Blue Jackets, the season after letting him walk, swept a No. 1 seed. His teams are 8-21 with him in their postseason lineup. The Penguins are 1-5.

His partner, Schultz, wasn’t far ahead; he was on for one more Penguins goal than Johnson.

Remember those issues with the third line? Guess which pair was out there on most of their shifts."
