Oilers might have to add, or add a condition if Johnson re-signs, but that seems fairly reasonable. I thought Johnson’s stats would be better, but he seems lately to be a 20-25 point defenseman, consistently a minus, with past powerplay work. Was he bumped by Jones from the PP the last couple of years?
Unfortunately, that might help the Oilers, but fortunately, it might be less than they could get for Maroon as a deadline rental from a team looking for someone like him for the hump/playoff run.
