Forward Eric Staal is heading to Buffalo in return, according to Dreger.
According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, Staal had a 10-team no-trade list and the Sabres were not one of the team's on Staal's list.
The deal is one-for-one and no salary was retained by either team.
The 29-year-old Johansson had nine goals and 21 assists in 60 games with the Sabres last season. The 35-year-old Staal had 19 goals and 28 assists in 66 games with the Wild in 2019-20.
