The Hershey Bears announced today that the club has released defender Steve Johnson from his professional tryout agreement.

FROM BEARS PRESS RELEASE

Johnson, 24, skated in nine games with Hershey after joining the club from the ECHL’s Reading Royals on Dec. 12. He notched one assist, collecting his first AHL point with a helper on a Steve Whitney goal on Dec. 28 at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Thought @Steviej5 did a great job during his 9 games in Hershey. Really good kid & hope to have him back in organization someday. His departure means Bears continue to get healthier on backend with Johansen back at practice this week. #HBH https://t.co/GV79H07GXr

Well as the time appears to be a little closer for the Capitals for drafting another player the caliber of Alex Ovechkin. For the moment the big club needs a faceoff man desperately. Anyone down on the farm to be called up to preform those duties with a much higher success rate presently on the current roster. If not apparently a trade has to be in the offering in finding that particular required player.
