Erik Johnson has found his new home.

After several weeks of trade rumors, Erik Johnson has finally found his new home.

The Buffalo Sabres have traded defenseman Erik Johnson to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for a 2024 fourth-round pick.

The Flyers recently parted ways with defenseman Sean Walker and landed a first-round pick for him. While the return was undoubtedly good for the Flyers, it created a hole on the right side of their defense. With the Flyers still being in the playoff race, they have now decided to fill it with Johnson. 

Johnson should be a nice addition to the Flyers' bottom pairing as they look to end the season on a high note. He will also provide them with more experience and leadership, which is certainly not a bad thing for a young club like Philly. 

In 50 games as a Sabre this season, Johnson had three goals and a minus-5 rating.
