Released
The club has also announced the release of veteran forward Ryan Johnson, who was in camp on a PTO. (Professional tryout)
With Johnson without a team, his fantasy hockey value could not be lower.

Ryan Johnson News
Line Change
We thought he was going to bring some energy, give us some good depth, but with Ryan Johnson and (Cory) Emmerton, (Fabian) Brunnstrom, (Tomas) Tatar, we've got some guys that can continue to push and give us depth.
Johnson could provide depth as a forward that does not need to play every night. Last season he scored a goal and six points in 34 games on the Blackhawks fourth line. Right now he faces slim odds with higher upside players in that same competition.
Bickell and Johnson (maybe John Scott) are in for the #Blackhawks.
