Ryan Johnson has not played well in the last couple of years. He has hurt the Vancouver Canucks. He has done so in a minor role with limited ice time, so his damage is not as big as players who play more frequently, but he has nevertheless hurt the team. Vancouver would be better served with somebody more competent in Ryan Johnson’s spot and they will likely have that next season as Johnson remains an unsigned UFA. Ryan Johnson is the worst player in the NHL at puck possession. That is pretty damning.
