92 Ryan Johansen C

Johansen was exposed to Seattle for Wednesday's Expansion Draft.

The Predators' opted not to include Johansen on their protected list, making the 28-year-old -- and his $8 million cap for the next four years -- available to the Kraken. His 22 points in 48 games last year suggest that he may not be a top target for the incoming franchise. Furthermore, Johansen's paltry seven power-play points despite an average of 2:44 of man-advantage time don't exactly sweeten things. Nashville teammate Matt Duchene was left off the protection list, as well.

Johansen scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 6.

Johansen was activated from the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Thursday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.

Johansen was placed in the league's protocol Tuesday, so he likely produced a false positive test. In turn, the 28-year-old has a good chance to play in Thursday's matchup versus the Panthers.
