‘It has been a long road for Johansson to get to this point, starting out as the Sabres’ third round pick (61st overall) in the 2014 NHL Draft out of Sweden’s SuperElit Junior League with Brynäs IF. From there, he went from playing in the Swedish second-tier league Allsvenskan to signing his entry-level contract and starting his North American career in the ECHL to getting some work in the American Hockey League with the Amerks to finally earning his first call up in the National Hockey League.’
