The Coyotes picked Johansson up on waivers and he was only able to appear in one preseason game before getting hurt. The lack of evaluation could hurt Johansson's chance of landing the No.2 role behind Karel Vejmelka.

Waiver Move
The Coyotes have claimed Jonas Johansson on waivers from the Avalanche.
Since being taken in the third-round of the 2014 NHL Draft, Johansson has appeared in just 32 NHL games. He's gone 9-13-4 with a 3.46 GAA and .882 SV% with the Sabres, Avalanche and Panthers. Arizona may be the only destination where Johansson could actually land a backup role in the NHL for the 2022-23 season.
The Jets re-signed Jansen Harkins to a two-year deal worth $1.7 million ($850K AAV).
The Coyotes have signed Conor Geekie to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Senators have re-signed Scott Sabourin to a one-year, two-way contract.
Sabourin a is big, rugged forward who spent almost all of 2022 with Belleville (AHL). Sabourin had 17 points (5G / 12A) in 40 AHL games a season ago.
The Avalanche have signed Jonas Johansson to a one-year contract.
The Lightning have re-signed Erik Cernak to an eight-year deal worth $41.6 million ($5.2M AAV).
The Lightning have signed Anthony Cirelli to an eight-year deal worth $50.0 million ($6.25M AAV).
The Canucks have signed Ilya Mikheyev to a four-year contract worth $19.0 million ($4.75M AAV).
The Maple Leafs have signed Dennis Hildeby to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Hildeby was selected in the fourth round (No.122 overall) in last week's NHL Entry Draft. The 20-year-old netminder was 3-2-0 with a 1.93 GAA and .930 SV% in nine games with Farjestads BK Karlstad (SHL) last season.
The Predators have acquired Ryan McDonagh from the Lightning for Philippe Myers and Grant Mismash.
McDonagh has four years left on his seven-year deal that carries a $6.75M AAV cap-hit. The Lightning recently approached McDonagh to waive his no-trade clause in an effort to clear some cap-space. The Lightning have two key UFA's in Ondrej Palat and Jan Rutta and this trade could help get both of them under contract. In Nashville, McDonagh joins Roman Josi, and Mattias Ekholm as the Predators' new big-3.
