Have to go back through the thread, Friedman had been spelling it out.Wasn't it reported that Johansen wanted to play when was traded here but the Flyers were like nah?
They buried him to the media when they got him, citing the culture, while actively trying to trade him.
They wanted him to go to the Phantoms, he then wanted to try and work things out to play in the NHL. Flyers were not much interested
Injury magically appeared out of nowhere, and he wasn’t seen again.
As always, timing is everything. What’s the play? And why now? It’s still 3 weeks to camp. Clearly, they thought they were going to be presented to a situation they were not going to have control in when it came time to report.
