Contract Termination: [PHI] F Ryan Johansen placed on waivers by the Flyers for the purpose of contract termination (Johansen grieving)

Nice wedding present from Philly

Has any NHL team ever successfully proven a material breach? It seems like they always end up settling or losing in the end and have to pay the player and potentially take a cap penalty.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Probably went too hard at his wedding on Saturday
Wonder who snitched

 

[Brookbank]

In Nashville, we figured it was lounging around in the country club sipping latte's?

He definitely never seemed like the kind of guy who would be into much else.

Guessing it might be more to do with his injury status, doing/not doing something about it, not reporting to the AHL, something along those lines, as opposed to a vice-related issue.

Yeah. Or maybe something social media related ? If you like the wrong tweet these days , you're out

This man was brought in to be 2C behind MacK for the Avs last season.... Please let's all take a moment to understand how angry this probably made Nate.

 

[All Mighty]

Good point

Maybe once you retain its stuck on the cap ?

I don’t think so. I believe Kuznetsov is completely off the Caps’ books now. A buyout would be different, though (like OEL).

 

[Jovavic]

The writers for this offseason are on the ball!

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Can the Flyers do anything right? Lmao

 

[Crosstraffic]

Flyers trying to get out of paying 8m, not enough money coming in from comcrapstic?

 

[TheBeard]

What a fall for RyJo

That RyJo for Jones trade looking like one of the more lopsided trades of the past decade.

 

[Uindicator]

Oilers scrambling lol

 

[DiglettDangles]

That is going to be an intriguing case that could set a precedent the NHLPA will certainly want to avoid.

I can't help but think the league penalty to the Flyers, were they to submit insufficient evidence/cause for termination, would turn out to be less severe than the Ottawa/Dadonov mistake, because the NHL gonna NHL.

I don’t think so. I believe Kuznetsov is completely off the Caps’ books now. A buyout would be different, though (like OEL).

Maybe he isn't really off the books but because the Caps bought CapFriendly the league will never know?

They took on his contract as a cap dump to get a 1st round pick from Colorado for Sean Walker. Now they've been able to get out of the contract altogether. I'd say they nailed this one, and I am usually very critical of everything they do as a tortured lifelong fan.

Damn that sucks. Probably on his honeymoon when he got the news.

 

[Curufinwe]

He played 63/63 games for Colorado then claimed he was injured right after the trade to avoid going to the AHL and being bought out after the season. Always seemed fake.

Do they ever take a cap penalty?

If Kessler doesn’t intentionally injure him in the 2017 Western Conference finals Predators likely beat Pittsburgh in the SCF

Yeah, I'd guess it's something like jet skiing with a supposedly bad hip rather than snow blowing.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Guys downfall needs to be studied, will he ever see an NHL roster again, I guess it depends on what happened lol.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Kings did with Mike Richards

 

[Breakers]

He played 63/63 games for Colorado then claimed he was injured right after the trade to avoid going to the AHL and being bought out after the season. Always seemed fake.

That’s what I remember too is the fake injury.

 

[SomeDude]

LA still carries a cap penalty for terminating Richards and will until 2028.

[Gnashville]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this actually seems like a huge break for Nashville. They suddenly get Johansen’s $4M retained money off the books and have some breathing room to add more this season.

Philly doing Trotz a solid to get inside track on an Askarov deal!!
