I mean, RyJo put in a hell of a performance for Nashville during our cup run, PPG and shutting down Toews and Kane in round one. Had he not gotten injured, and Mike Riberio not been a sexual predator, the finals would look a whole lot different, instead we had to go with "Top 6" Nick Spaling and Freddy "The AHLer" Gaudreau as our centers vs. Pittsburgh.

That’s one guy
Different from a claim that most players over the age of 30 deserve LTIR
These dudes live with and play through injuries and soreness that'd leave the average HF poster bed ridden

What the hell does that have to being over 30 and deserving LTIR just because according to you.

Being dodgy and non compliant is not on the Flyers. I get it's easy to lump things give the same franchise has had a number of issues but seems to me a lot of these guys outside of Couturier who was a Tortz decision have to learn to be accountable.
Gauthier wanted entitlement before proving or earning anything
Johansen with the little info available looks like he's avoiding proper disclosure to help the Flyers move forward.
Ultimately they have had a lot of bad contracts and players with injury issues and took some of those on to help a retool but i highly doubt this is a big issue if Johansen (who is a lazy person by repuatation) had done his end of the bargain and in good faith looked to get things sorted rather than probably decide he's just gonna sit this out without proper doctor approvals and communications
It's not like Briere doesn't know the PA and lawyers will be involved. Johansen is being called out for being a tool and it's not the first time

It ultimately depends on what new info the Flyers have found. Is Johansen actively rehabbing his injury in an attempt to play. Was he caught doing something in the offseason such as water-skiing that could further aggrevate said injury.
Hard to know if they are justified or not in this without knowing more.

The NHL still has to play the bullsh** PC game to an extent.
Why wouldn't a team try it ? If a player went on some racist diatribe on Twitter. Just say that this will damage the teams brand too much and the player has to be terminated

I mean most of these guys live with pain the average person doesn't. It would be simple for a Dr to deem them injured

Strange how it's always the overpaid old guys who mysteriously commit material breaches

Wasn't Dotchin's because he showed up to camp grossly out of shape? I read it somewhere but I don't know if it was legit.

This seems unfair, I have seen reports that its about an undisclosed injury that the Avs didn't tell the Flyers about. So why is it on Johansen and not the Avs?
I thought I read he was doing everything he could to not be bought out or get sent down (ie. trying to LTIR or "be injured"). I can appreciate getting the money when you can, but he already had the money.
Average HF poster hasn't earned like $50M in their life. What a stupid comparison to make. Life is pain, deal with it (Movie: The Long Kiss Good Night).

Maybe because the injury didn't seem to be enough of a problem to Joey until the Flyers tried to send him to the AHL?? I have no doubt the guy has had serious wear and tear but waiting until after you are traded and facing demotion to claim to be physically unable to play reeks of bullshit, I think any reasonable person would be suspicious under those circumstances

I don’t why you keep speaking on this broad assumption that most players in the league are living with constant pain 24/7 and deserve LTIR once 30 hits.

I’ve seen at least two mentions of water skiing which is specific enough that I’ll choose to believe there is some smoke there until proven otherwise lol. But for real, I’d assume the Flyers got their ducks in a row before doing this

No Prior Knowledge of "Flyers"
Nah, if you follow these stories closely you realize the Flyers keep running into these situations because their inexperienced management has no idea what it's doing.

It sounds like the implication is that he manufactured an injury to potentially avoid playing for Torts and then subsequently minor league team after being waved...?
He played every game with colorado and then was suddenly injured at some point with flyers.

Sme people were discussing the cap hit penalty on the Kings due to the Richard's termination earlier in this thread. Was that a penalty for termination of the contract or was that simply the cap recapture rules from the 2013 CBA coming into play? I believe Richards's contract may have fallen under those rules, requiring the Kings to repay the cap savings they had received from the contract.

That was what the Lightning claimed was the "material breach of contract" from what I recall
