Not well but if he was a league min center option, I’d go for it. Maybe some shit team will give him more though.
Those are two broken players. Both guys have had lingering injuries. Hopefully Bastian is healthy this season and can play the way he's capable of. He was too passive last season in my view.

I like how proficient he is on the dot (53% last year and over his career) but I’m concerned by the injuries and the relative GF% despite playing on good teams the last 5 or so years.

RyJo is EXTREMELY cooked, or at least, he looked like it last year. still tolerable defensively, but an offensive black hole who takes a bunch of penalties.
you can probably find better off the pto scrap heap

Quite a bargain if he signs for that price and term. Taking advantage of a hard sophomore season. After year one I’d have pegged him at 8 to 8.5 long term, given the rising cap and the city. 7 is low for near max term. Depends on whether he wants to bet on himself with cutting term for a bridge deal.
I assume conversation went something like this:
"We have the cap space to match your Broberg offer, but we probably wont have the space for him next year. Not trading him until August is annoying but we can probably get a handshake deal in place in June then just wait. You can give us an extra pick and a prospect that we can use to trade for a better Dman rental at the deadline and we'll decline to match. You get the guy you want and we're stronger this year for a cup run."
Well, that's way more tame than what I thought it would be. "Material breach" sounds way closer to Galchenyuk threatening cops or Nichushkin's hooker situation than "this guy said he was good to play when he isn't".
I guess I owe Johansen an apology for assuming the worst. But let's be real, we all assumed you'd have to be real scumbag to get thrown off the Flyers.

He's a no6 on most team and outside chance developing into top 4. Good at everything but not great at anything.
For the Habs he's our 6th defenseman on the left behind Matheson, Guhle, X, Hutson and Struble. There was a risk of losing him on waivers if he wasn't traded so a 2nd (top 40) was great. Laine was free.
Athletic had an article and saw this blip:
So maybe it was another team who didn't have the cap space.

I’ve seen that he isn’t supposed to play this year anyway, due to injury.
But he’s contesting this because now he won’t get paid?

Johansen is due $8 million in salary this year (per PuckPedia - if I read it correctly).
If the Flyers terminate his contract for breach prior to the season, I think that will mean they (and the Predators - who retained 50%) don't pay any of it.
I'd fight that too if I were Johansen.
Him and Torts must really hate each other. Here's a post from the time of the trade:
Ryan Johansen has no interest in playing for Flyers, Tortorella
Ryan Johansen seems to have no interest in playing for the Philadelphia Flyers. He has some issues with people there.

The discourse on this on Twitter is really something. People are really taking the absolute worst optics on this when Lou has literally done this for as long as I can remember with every single player.

It's also something he pretty much took from Steinbrenner and the Yankees. They have the same policy in place. People don't have to like it, but it certainly has nothing to do with treating certain individuals unfairly. It's a policy he's had forever, and Duclair likely knew about it when he signed.

I want to know where the public outcry is for poor Palms who looks like a hairless cat when he's beardless.
