It just depends who is on the waiver wire. Johnson is not going to help you much these playoffs and probably not much next year especially if it is a 10 or 12-man league.
Playoffs start tomorrow. This is a league where you keep all players every season. Will I be losing a lot dropping Kent Johnson? I have Murray and Ghule able to be activated. Trying to go all in this season and win. I know he will be picked up as soon as I drop him. Team sig is below.

I was going to drop him to activate Matt Murray and get a few extra goalie games this week. I have two players that are ready to be activated.
I know once I drop him someone will pick him up but I want to win now
seeing as you asked this question elsewhere the answer remains the same, you want to win now then dump Johnson because he is not a win now player. He is a win now player in 2024 and beyond. Start Murray, if he does poorly now you don't have to entertain the mental Olympics of should I start should I not the rest of the playoff week and send goalies with reckless abandon. Listen to my words, I win lots of titles, do not be conservative now if you really want to win the chip.
I think Johnson is not a win now guy, but will be useful soonish, so that's up to you.
However I have another question: Is Ristolainen clearly better than D on the wire?
He's been floating on and off the wire in two of my leagues (admittedly one is a cap league) and the Flyers play Tuesday/Friday/Saturday. The Flyers aren't remotely good right now, and you might find that dropping Ristolainen gives you more flexibility for man-games during the week.
