Johns announced his retirement on Instagram on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Johns accumulated 33 points (15 goals, 18 assists) in 167 career NHL games over parts of four seasons. He suffered a concussion in the 2017-18 campaign and battled post-traumatic migraines for the better part of two years before making his return. However, he was unable to play in 2020-21, and will end his playing career at 29 years old.

Johns (undisclosed) is currently in Dallas going through quarantine, Brien Rea of FOX Sports Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johns missed most of Dallas' playoff run last season with an undisclosed issue. The Stars never released any details regarding the specific nature of Johns' problem, but he's dealt with concussions in the past, so it may have been a related issue. The 28-year-old blueliner will be evaluated medically following his mandatory quarantine to determine his status for the upcoming campaign, but at this point he should be considered a longshot to suit up for the Stars this season.

Johns (undisclosed) missed most of the Stars' playoff run because he "didn't feel comfortable playing anymore," Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Stars still haven't released any details regarding the specific nature of Johns' issue, but he's dealt with concussions in the past, and at this point it wouldn't be surprising to see him announce his retirement ahead of the 2020-21 season. The 28-year-old is a fantastic bottom-four option when healthy, but injuries have derailed his career to this point.

Johns (undisclosed) is still considered unfit to play heading into Wednesday's Game 3 against the Lightning, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johns has been sidelined for over a month with an undisclosed issue, and at this point it seems like a foregone conclusion that he won't return this season. The 28-year-old blueliner has dealt with major injury issues over the past few campaigns, and he's not known for his offensive contributions when healthy, so there's no reason for fantasy players to have him on their radar heading into next year's drafts.

Johns (undisclosed) will miss Monday's Game 2 matchup with Tampa Bay, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will be the 19th consecutive contest on the shelf for Johns, who previously spent the bulk of the 2019-20 campaign on long-term injured reserve due to concussion issues. At this point, Johns' lingering health issues make him a high-risk option in season-long formats next year.

Johns is still considered unfit to play ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against Tampa Bay, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Johns (undisclosed) is still considered unfit to play ahead of Saturday's Game 4 versus the Golden Knights, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johns has been sidelined for nearly a month at this point and the Stars have yet to release any details regarding the nature of his injury or a timetable for his recovery, so he should be considered out indefinitely for the time being. The 28-year-old blueliner went scoreless while averaging just 14:54 of ice time in four postseason contests before suffering his undisclosed injury.

Johns (undisclosed) continues to be sidelined heading into Thursday's Game 3 clash with Vegas, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on Johns getting back into the lineup any time soon, especially considering he has yet to return to practice. With Taylor Fedun (undisclosed) also missing time, the Stars figure to keep utilizing Joel Hanley on the third pairing.

Johns (undisclosed) has been deemed "unfit to play" in Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Golden Knights, Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.com reports.
