Bruins Sign Loke Johansson To Three-Year Entry-Level Contract

November 7, 2024 at 1:05 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

The Bruins announced they’ve signed defense prospect Loke Johansson to a three-year, entry-level contract. It will carry a cap hit of $860K, but minor-league salary and bonus details were not disclosed.

Johansson, 19 next month, was a sixth-round pick of the Bruins in this year’s draft (No. 186 overall). The stay-at-home defender was selected mainly due to his size – he’s already 6’3″ and 214 lbs.

He’s not just a heavy hitter and enforcer, though. Johansson flashed legitimate upside last year playing professionally in Sweden. A part of the AIK organization, he had 13 points and a +5 rating in 33 appearances with their U-20 club. He also made his professional debut, appearing in 19 games for the senior club in the second-tier HockeyAllsvenskan while holding his own with an assist and a +1 rating.

The Stockholm native made the jump to North America for 2024-25, just not to play pro hockey. He’s remaining at the major junior level after being selected in the CHL Import Draft by the QMJHL’s Moncton Wildcats. Through 15 games with the club, he has a goal and four assists with 16 PIMs and a +9 rating.

Elite Prospects calls his brand of hockey “simple,” adding that “he’s a technically sound skater, able to cover a lot of ground with his four-way mobility and general shiftiness.” Since he wasn’t selected from a CHL club and instead arrived in Moncton after being drafted, he’s not subject to the NHL-CHL transfer agreement and could now theoretically head to AHL Providence at any time after signing his ELC. It’s fair to assume the Bruins will leave him on loan to Moncton for the remainder of the season for development purposes, though.

As such, Johansson’s contract will slide for at least one season as he won’t appear in at least 10 NHL contests in 2024-25. The same could happen next season if he doesn’t get into 10 games in 2025-26. If there are signing bonuses in the contract, the cap hit of the deal will decrease slightly with each slide, as those get paid out regardless of whether the contract goes into effect.
