What It Means:

This is the first day of arbitration hearings, meaning the two sides don't have a lot of time to come to an agreement. Johansson tallied 46 points -- one off his career high -- in 74 games last season, while playing on a one-year deal worth $3.75 million.

Johansson has been a consistent and solid point producer, tallying between 44 and 47 points in each of the last three seasons. He was just average at driving possession last season, however, posting a Corsi For Percentage of 50.1 and a Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength of -0.6.
