Stephen Johns, Defenseman
DOB: 04/18/1992 Ht: 6’3 Wt: 221
Drafted: 2nd round (60th overall) in 2010 – USDP
Johns is a physically imposing defenseman who was named the Defenseman of the Year as a sophomore at Notre Dame last year. He plays with an edge and possesses size that is lacking in the Blackhawks’ system. The Hawks don’t have to sign him until he decides to leave South Bend, where he returns for his junior season in 2012-13.
I love the size we have in guys like Johns and Hayes
