If the guy is having a significant surgery how can the Flyers go into negotiation with a straight face saying the guy didn't need it.
The only thing Ryjo did wrong was masquerade as a 2C. And it's really Cmacs fault for thinking Ryjo was a good replacement for JTC.
Not true. Lets assume two scenarios with one being the injury was/is legitimate. If the injury occurred while playing for the Avs, whats his duty to report it? Also when did it happen? The fact that he continued playing while even being at the morning skate the morning he was traded belies the idea he reported it.
Are you about to say maybe he did report it and the Avs knew about this when trading him? Keep in mind that the Avs had to pay extra to get rid of him and might have been better off LTIRing him if the injury was significant enough and he had reported it.
So, what happened strongly suggests that, if injured, Johansen didnt report it. And by not reporting it, hes trying to avoid his obligation while making teams accountable regarding the CBA. The stipulations being cited in the CBA require and injury to be reported and identified for them to apply. This has to be assumed, no?
Then theres the scenario that the injury is being exaggerated/invented which was supported by what occurred above (not reporting the injury) and how he behaved subsequent to the trade. This would include only being injured once sent to Lehigh but also, apparently there is video of him seeming healthy at his wedding. And why is he scheduling his injury so late in the summer?
