He has been out with that injury since acquired by the Flyers last season. And at least per Duff and Biron, that "material breach of contract" is likely that Johansen is pursuing a treatment plan that the Phlyers aren't on board with. (Consider how the Sabres would've treated it if Eichel had scheduled the neck surgery that they didn't approve for him.) It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out because according to the CBA the team chooses the course of treatment for injuries but the player chooses the specialist (surgeon, therapist, etc.) to perform it. Expecting that to be the major item the players want modified when they negotiate a new CBA in a couple of years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Feels that this either an Eichel-esc situation with a disagreement over a surgery, another scenario potentially Johansen's injury being called into question by the Flyers' brass (he's actively delaying his surgery with rehab to prevent needing to go to the AHL) or the Flyers are just trying to get out of the contract early.

PerreaultForever Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 I'm not going to dig too deep on this because I don't really care but is it possible that he or his agent hid or didn't properly disclose details on his injury when the trade was made? Could that be construed as a breach of contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 I was under the impression that the team thought he was faking it last year because it mysteriously surfaced right after the trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted August 22 Author Report Share Posted August 22 There is allegedly a photo from his recent wedding where he is lifting his wife. If true, I can see why the Flyers may feel that the injury can’t be that bad if he can lift his wife off the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 How much does his wife weigh? My guess is that the bride of a multi-million dollar professional athlete isn't running two bills or anywhere close to it. Lifting a petite woman once as part of a wedding celebration does not equate to the rigors of playing in the National Hockey League. Just my two cents. I know very little about the player of the situation other than seeing this post. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all he was dealt to Colorado for a UFA even though he had ok numbers that previous year. Supposedly he was a malcontent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Adams wanted the first, same way as he tried to acquire Sean Monahan from Calgary. Johansen wouldn’t have played last year and if he did as going to be a problem this season he could have buried or bought out. Adams in many ways has sucked as a GM. The fact the owner has blocked, for multiple seasons, any attempt to take cap dumps for assets sucks even more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally played his last game in Colorado. I do agree though on the money part though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
