2023 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson was a regular for Columbus in his first NHL campaign, and one of the few bright spots in what was an otherwise horrific season. The No. 5 overall selection in 2021 posted an impressive 16 goals and 40 points (12 with the man advantage) in 79 games, in addition to finishing with the ugly plus/minus rating (minus-19) you would expect from a 20-year-old kid playing for one of the worst teams in the league. The Jackets loaded up their defense (Damon Severson, Ivan Provorov), drafted Adam Fantilli, and hired a new coach (Mike Babcock), so things are on the upswing in Columbus. That could pay huge dividends for the supremely talented Johnson, who is a late-round guy in standard fantasy formats but an elite long-term asset in keeper and dynasty leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Johnson logged two assists in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Capitals.
ANALYSIS
Johnson assisted on Jack Roslovic's power-play tally in the second period before setting up Boone Jenner's game-tying goal with 47 seconds remaining in the third. Johnson has demonstrated his playmaking ability recently, recording seven points (one goal, six assists) over his last seven games. The 20-year-old rookie is up to 14 goals and 22 assists through 67 games while maintaining a top-six role.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson started last season at the University of Michigan and finished the year with Columbus. In between, he played for the Canadian Olympic team. He has since played for Canada at the World Championship and the delayed and since completed 2022 World Juniors. Johnson, the fifth-overall pick in 2021, is one of the most gifted offensive prospects in the NHL. He's an excellent puck handler and dynamic in open space. It would be great to see the Blue Jackets insert him on their top line alongside Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine in 2022-23. While that seems unlikely to happen, Columbus is going to have to figure out a way to ensure Johnson gets significant ice time all season long.
