Aaron Johnson

The newest NIR. Aaron Johnson.


Aaron Johnson was signed by the New York Islanders on 7/12/07. A extra D pick up that was supposed to be in the minors could now be a big part of the Isles 4th offensive line.

Johnson has played with the Bluejackets from 2003-2007. In those 116 games, he scored 7 goals and 19 assists. Not much, but he didn't get that much playing time. This year, he has played 2 games for the Isles. Surprisingly, not in his normal position. Instead of at the blue line, Johnson plays as a wing on the Isles 4th line. He hustles out there, and looks good.

Johnson does not play a huge role on the Isles this year. Signed as a defensive back-up, we are now using him as an every-day 4th liner. He won't get much playing time, but his skill could lead him to 2 goals and 5 assists. I am no one to know how much time he will be playing, or if he will be playing at all. That is just my sensible guess.

Johnson has yet to prove himself in this league. This year, he may have a chance to do it. Unfortunately, Johnson's short NHL career has summed up to a fairly short "New Islander" Review.
