The Johnson watch has started

Johnson is incentivized to sign soon and play a couple of games with the Sabres so he can burn one year of his entry level deal. Wondering if he can sign in a way to burn a year, play a couple of games with the Sabres, then play with Rochester in the Playoffs?

if he doesn’t sign at all we still get a 2nd in comp next year

He'd have to sign an ATO deal to be Amerks eligible. He can't have it both ways. Either play for the Sabres and burn a year, or play for the Rochester in the playoffs.

It's a shame. Can you imagine sending Levi down just for the Calder Cup playoffs?

You’re right so I think he’ll get the first option as he holds all the cards

Even if he signed right now he should not play in a Sabres games until and IF we get eliminated.   

I hope he signs and has a nice career for us.  

Probably correct but can he be worse than our bottom 2 pairing?

problem is with 4 games in 5 nights to end season he won’t get a practice in.

In a perfect world, I want Johnson to make Jokiharju expendable in addition to the team bringing in another solid defender in the off-season to bump the 5 and 6 down a peg.
