Flyers Seek to Terminate Ryan Johansen's Contract for 'Material Breach'
The Philadelphia Flyers allege the forward failed to comply with team rules, leading to an attempt to end his contract.
- Johansen was acquired from the Colorado Avalanche in March but never played a game for the Flyers.
- The Flyers placed Johansen on waivers citing a 'material breach' of his contract, potentially related to an injury claim.
- If the termination is successful, the Flyers will avoid a $4 million salary cap hit for the upcoming season.
- Johansen and his representatives are expected to file a grievance against the contract termination.
- The situation may lead to arbitration to determine the legitimacy of the Flyers' claims and the contract's future.
