Contract-wise, his Value score of 10 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Jonas Johansson's story
Born in Gävle on 19 September 1995, Jonas Johansson learned the goaltending craft in Brynäs IF’s junior system before appearing in the SHL in 2013–14. Early in his career he split time between Sweden’s top tier and the Allsvenskan, using loan spells to collect starts and develop game‑management skills behind a heavy workload.
Buffalo selected him 61st overall in the 2014 NHL Draft, and he moved to North America in 2017 after signing an entry‑level deal. Johansson spent his first years in the Sabres’ system with the Rochester Americans (AHL) and the Cincinnati Cyclones (ECHL), where he posted strong numbers and set a franchise playoff record for saves in a single game while helping the club reach the post‑season.
He made his NHL debut with Buffalo in February 2020 and recorded his first win later that month. Johansson’s path then included several organizational changes: a trade to Colorado in March 2021, a stint with the Florida Panthers, and a return to the Avalanche. With Colorado he notched his first NHL shutout and contributed during the regular season as the club clinched the Central Division and the Presidents’ Trophy, while also alternating assignments between the NHL and the Colorado Eagles in the AHL.
On 1 July 2023 Johansson signed a two‑year contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning, serving mainly as Andrei Vasilevskiy’s backup but stepping into a starting role when injuries arose, including recording shutouts for the Lightning. Tampa Bay later traded him to the Ottawa Senators on 25 September for future considerations, placing him within Ottawa’s organization.
Internationally he was part of Sweden’s squad that earned silver at the 2014 World Junior Championship in a backup role. Johansson’s game is built on efficient positioning and lateral agility; he focuses on limiting rebounds and reading shooters to control the crease rather than relying on dramatic saves.
