Johnsson, a 25-year-old forward, has three seasons remaining on a four-year, $13.6 million contract ($3.4 million average annual value) he signed with Toronto on June 28, 2019. He scored 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) in 43 regular-season games and had no points in one postseason game.
“Andreas is a hardworking, competitive forward who can slot up and down the lineup,” New Jersey general manager Tom Fitzgerald said. “The overall versatility of his game will be a great complement to our centermen, with his skating, quickness and scoring touch.”
Selected by Toronto in the seventh round (No. 202) of the 2013 NHL Draft, Johnsson has scored 67 points (30 goals, 37 assists) in 125 regular-season games with the Maple Leafs and six points (two goals, four assists) in 14 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
Anderson was selected by the Devils in the third round (No. 73) of the 2016 NHL Draft. The 22-year-old has scored 13 points (eight goals, five assists) in 52 NHL games, including six (four goals, two assists) in 18 games last season, the last of a three-year, entry-level contract he signed April 15, 2018.
