The New Jersey Devils need some defensive help in the offseason. Obviously, there are some really big fish that could be available in free agency or trade in John Carlson, Erik Karlsson and Oliver Ekman-Larsson, but those will have every other team going after them. If the Devils miss out on them, they would need to look at some secondary options.
One of those options is a player that never really lived up to his expectations. Jack Johnson was supposed to be the next great American defenseman. He never really reached that ceiling, but he was always a good player.
