MAJOR: Player Philadelphia Flyers Traded For is Refusing to Join the Team
Johansen's Move to Flyers Sparks Controversy
Following a lot of activity in the NHL's trading season, the dust has settled. A few cases remain post-trade, notably Ryan Johansen's transition to the Philadelphia Flyers from the Colorado Avalanche.In a strategic move aimed at balancing their finances post-acquisition of Sean Walker, Johansen was sent to the Flyers. The team wasted no time in sending him for waivers, aiming for his reassignment to the American Hockey League.
Disagreements were made as Johansen understandably did now want to agree with the Flyers' plans, potentially avoiding joining the team altogether.
Johansen's Shaky Future and Injury Complications
"Ryan Johansen is grappling with injuries, casting doubt on his appearance for LV. This unforeseen issue adds complexity to his situation, especially considering his potential as a buyout candidate this summer. However, league rules prohibit buyouts for injured players,"
Johansen's tenure under Head Coach John Tortorella in Columbus had its ups and downs, adding controversy to his current issue. An injury could obstruct the Flyers' ability to consider a buyout, a move that, if feasible, would financially impact both Philadelphia and Nashville.
"Despite dealing with various minor issues throughout the season, Johansen's current health concerns introduce a new twist. A potential summer buyout would entail a cap hit of $1,333,334 for both the Flyers and the Predators over the next two seasons,"
As this situation unfolds, all eyes will be on Philadelphia to see how this scenario resolves.
