Ryan Johansen was placed on waivers by the Philadelphia Flyers with the purpose of contract termination citing a material breach.
The Philadelphia Flyers have placed veteran forward Ryan Johansen on unconditional waivers for the purposes of contract termination. The Flyers acquired Johansen prior to the 2024 trade deadline from the Colorado Avalanche, but he never played a game in Philadelphia.
Johansen had one year remaining on his deal that earned him $8 million annually. The Flyers and Nashville Predators are splitting the salary 50/50. The Predators signed the initial eight-year deal in 2017. A little more information: Johansen is expected to grieve this termination; Flyers aren’t commenting, but have made it clear they will present their case if asked to do.If Johansen clears waivers, his contract will still be terminated, but that won’t be the end of the process. Johansen will have 60 days to file a grievance with the NHLPA.
Shortly after acquiring him from the Avalanche, the Flyers tried to send Johansen to their American Hockey League affiliate the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. An existing injury prevented the move, however, and he remained on the NHL roster.
