The 28-year-old increased his worth while battling for the Stanley Cup with Boston during the postseason. Throughout the 2019 playoffs, Johansson tallied 11 points (four goals, seven assists) through 22 games, and played a big role on the wing for the Bruins.
Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said Boston has had conversations with Johansson’s camp, but first has to take care of its restricted free agent situation.
