They have 37 points through 33 games after a great response to new head coach Joe Sacco. Now, they’re making some roster moves. They <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bruins-news-oliver-wahlstrom-speaks-about-bruins-homecoming-waiver-claim">scooped Oliver Wahlstrom up off of waivers</a>, ending his run with the New York Islanders. To<a href="https://x.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1869820770295394659" rel="noopener"> make room for him</a>, the Bruins placed Tyler Johnson on unconditional waivers, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.</p><p>“Tyler Johnson (BOS) on unconditional waivers for purposes of contract termination,” Friedman posted on social media.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bruins-make-tyler-johnson-contract-decision-amid-pto-limbo">Johnson was signed to a one-year contract worth $775,000 to join the Bruins</a> this season. He spent the previous three years with the Chicago Blackhawks and finished the seven-year contract he started with the Tampa Bay Lightning. After he burst on the scene for the 2015 Cup finalists in Tampa, he signed the long deal. But he did not click like the other pieces from that team.</p><p>Johnson had only two points in nine games this year with the Bruins and Oliver Wahlstrom should outperform that. The former first-round pick never clicked with the Islanders but could benefit from the change of scenery. He is ten years younger than Johnson and only slightly more expensive.</p><p>There is not much that Johnson provides to an NHL team in 2024-25. He is not big, does not have a great shot, and has seen his speed decline in recent years. The Bruins saw that and moved to a player who has a high upside in Wahlstrom. But now, Johnson needs a new home.</p><p>The San Jose Sharks could use Johnson to eat up another roster spot. If they signed him to a multi-year deal, it would help them reach the cap floor moving forward. They have a great prospect pool they are still easing into NHL play.</p><p>Another good option is the Columbus Blue Jackets who desperately need depth forwards. They are sliding after a strong start and need the veteran leadership in the locker room.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That was to be expected, even with the addition of star rookie Connor Bedard. With Bedard <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blackhawks-news-connor-bedard-gets-disappointing-injury-update" rel="noopener">out due to a fractured jaw</a>, though, Chicago is even more unlikely to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. As a result, veteran forward Tyler Johnson <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nhl-rumors-blackhawks-make-veteran-tyler-johnson-available-for-trade" rel="noopener">could be on the move</a> at the NHL Trade Deadline.</p><p>There are a lot of complications around a Johnson trade, to be fair. First off, the veteran forward is on injured reserve, and it’s unclear when he’ll return to the ice. Furthermore, the 33-year-old owns <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/players/tyler-johnson" rel="noopener">a modified no-trade clause</a> and a cap hit of $5 million.</p><p>Johnson is not exactly the best offensive player in the league, though he provides value elsewhere. Prior to his injury, the Blackhawks forward scored nine goals and 13 points in 35 games this season.</p><p>At the NHL Trade Deadline, though, teams can take gambles. So with that in mind, here are three teams who could swing a trade for Blackhawks forward Tyler Johnson at the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline.</p><h2><b>Coyotes could trade for Tyler Johnson</b></h2><p>The Arizona Coyotes have made a bit of a leap this season. After years of struggle, the Yotes are in the race for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. However, they are falling behind, as they trail the St. Louis Blues by five points for the final playoff spot in the West.</p><p>The Coyotes have room to add down the middle. Injuries to Barrett Hayton and Travis Boyd have thinned out an already thin center ice group. If they want to keep their head above water, Arizona should look to add a center or two around the NHL Trade Deadline in March.</p><p>Of course, this hinges on Johnson returning to the ice before the deadline. If that happens, the Coyotes should call the Blackhawks and try to make a trade happen before time runs out.</p><h2><b>Blackhawks, Bruins could talk</b></h2><p>The Boston Bruins are one of the best teams in the entire NHL record-wise. However, they aren’t as strong as they were this time last year when they were racing toward the all-time single-season wins record. This could lead the Bruins to be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nhl-rumors-bruins-scoring-punch-2024-trade-deadline" rel="noopener">active in the trade market</a>.</p><p>The Bruins could use depth down the middle, though they have sought more established names. For instance, they had an interest in Elias Lindholm over the summer. Lindholm is now a member of the Vancouver Canucks, though, so they need to shift gears.</p><p>Johnson is probably a few names down the list from where Boston had Lindholm. However, if the Bruins can’t make another deal happen, the Blackhawks forward could be an option if the two teams can make this work financially.</p><h2><b>Panthers could be interested</b></h2><p>The Florida Panthers are also in the thick of things in the Atlantic Division. They sit behind the Bruins by a few points, though. They could find themselves active around the NHL Trade Deadline in an effort to solidify their spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.</p><p>The Panthers have no truly glaring holes. That said, they could still use some secondary scoring depth on the bottom six. They don’t need a superstar, per se, just a player who can play tough minutes while adding the occasional goal and assist down the lineup.</p><p>Johnson could provide that when healthy. Florida has a little bit of cap space to play with as well, so they may be able to make a trade work. Don’t be surprised if the Blackhawks and Panthers put a deal together ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For one, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided to part ways with wide receiver Tyler Johnson, who ended up being claimed off waivers by the Houston Texans.</p><p>Johnson is coming off of a 2021 season where, although he did not haul in a single receiving touchdown, he did record 36 receptions for 360 receiving yards. He finished up the year featuring in 612 total snaps on offense, which ranked at third among wideouts on the team.</p><p>In the end, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles elected to include seven receivers on the team’s initial 53-man roster, including Scotty Miller and Jaelon Darden. In Johnson’s case, Bowles <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yf232zcv3w" rel="noopener">views</a> a wideout who is a “great pass receiver” but also one who has “no special teams value.”</p><p>“That was tough,” Bowles said during a press conference on Wednesday. “Again, we have a lot of receivers and when you get down to a fifth and sixth receiver – Jaelon [Darden] returns punts and kicks, [and] Tyler [Johnson] was the sixth receiver to dress on Sundays. You’ve got to be able to play special teams and contribute.</p><p>“[He is] a great pass receiver, very good catcher – he can catch the ball – [he’s] a very good player, but no special teams value. Once you get down past the top four and five, you’ve got to have more value then just catching the football because you won’t dress on Sundays. You know, that was a big reason behind it. We felt ‘BP’ (Breshad Perriman) can do a lot of things on special teams, we feel Scotty [Miller] can do some things as well. So that’s what it came down to.”</p><p>Johnson did log 89 total snaps played on special teams in the 2021 campaign, although he was called on to be a kickoff returner just once.</p><p>For now, Johnson is slated to feature under the Davis Mills-led offense in Houston for the upcoming 2022 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nfl/tampa-bay-buccaneers" rel="noopener">season</a>. He is set to take part in multiple key practices ahead of the Texans’ regular season opener against their AFC South rival in the Indianapolis Colts later this month.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
