The Next Ones profile on Johansson by THW's goalie guru Toli Metter:

Excerpt:

"Playing with the Brynäs teams of the J18 Elit and Allsvenskan since the 2010-2011 hockey season, Johansson has definitely stood out as an interesting prospect for several seasons – and it’s not due to his towering height (6’3.75″) at just 18 years of age.

Anything can happen but I think he's a backup maybe, Ullmark was good this year and still young , Luukkonen is the their future guy unless his development goes sideways.

All of the sudden Buffalo has a stockpile of interesting goalie prospects. Interesting.
