Tis true.

I can only guess this is for some added competition in camp. If they had really wanted an aging 4th line center who can PK, they would have simply re-signed Draper.

Draper would not have gone to GR, whereas Johnson almost surely will if he's actually signed... right now though, this is just a try-out and will probably never materialize into more...

Johnson is the best faceoff guy in the league. He was at 63 % last season, thats beter than Drapes can do anymore. If we can have a guy like that to pop into games here and there I wont complain late in one goal games

I think that too many people are reading too much into this "tryout". Thats all it is and nothing more. The young kids need someone to push them and Johnson will do that. If he beats out someone in training camp, I am comfortable with adding him to the lineup. If our younger players really work hard though, they won't be upstaged.

Johnson would have to be leaps and bounds above two of Emmerton, brunstrom or mursak to take a 14th roster spot... Don't expect that to happen... They want to push the kids and challenge them to see out of those 3 who should get the last 2 spots... Johnson is really just showcasing him self that's really it... And unless he drops jaws at camp he won't be on the Wings roster...
