Waived: [PHI] F Ryan Johansen waived by the Flyers (cleared)

[StreetHawk]

End of the RyJo era in Philly

Like Kuznetsov, he has to go down to the A to secure the buyout that he'll likely get in the off-season.

 

[missionAvs]

Have you seen our massive trade deadline addition from last year in Jeannot? He makes RyJo look like he is a super star still and he isnt.

Again, it's impossible. A dead man has a stronger pulse than RyJo.

What about a fighter that can't stay healthy or contribute?

 

[PredsV82]

another guy who thought he was good enough to just throw the jersey on and play

couldn't define work ethic if his life depended on it

In his defense he was an absolute beast in the 2017 playoff run. But he sure couldn't keep it up for a regular season.

Why send him down right away you might as well see if he meshes with a particular line before sending him down to the minors, since it is beyond obvious no one will pick him up at full price.

If he has a pulse, he's better than RyJo. Stay away.

Ouch. Really thought he’d bounce back this year. At least a little. He’s too young to be cooked. Didn’t even get a look with the flyers.

He's not to young to be cooked, not with the injuries he has had over the years. That last injury was why we were surprised anyone took a shot to begin with.

He probably won’t play a game for them and will be dealt at 50 off by Friday

2 million is fair for him

Good. Guy is the definition of not only a totally punchable face but a floater. f*** him.

He can’t keep a damn thing up, his wife is even complaining at this point. “RyJo” is the guy you play if you have zero interest in actually winning a Cup.

Why waste retention spot.

 

[cheesymc]

Oh what fun it would be if he went through re-entry waivers and got picked up by the Ducks and wore #17 out of spite against Kessler.

 

[Steddy33]

People defending this guy. Ha. I've seen 50 year olds skate harder at 1030pm weeknight pick up skates.

 

[Breakers]

Who was the former player on TSN radio that said this dude absolutely loves the offseason and is so lazy. He knew RyJo personally, and RyJo responded by putting something on Instagram.

Of course all players love the offseason, but then there is guys like RyJo who actively want their team to be eliminated or miss the playoffs, that his level of laziness.

There is also that video from the penaltybox where a Sharks-player (i think) and someone else on the opposing team take the piss out of RyJo and training cardio during summer

no f in way. Tortz chased him out of Columbus a few years back. Flyers made this trade just to secure the 1st rounder.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Hope Philly retires that number now.

Kuznetsov: Richest contract of all times in the AHL

Johansen: Hold my beer...

No escrow fin the A, which means more $$$$ for them. Ride the bus baby!

Wait where did you get this? Definitely the “non-buried” portion that counts against the cap is part of the players portion and is thus subject to escrow.

Imagine Torts with this lazy ass in his line up

 

[viper0220]

As a Flyers fan I want a Ryan Johansen jersey

 

[Curufinwe]

It's not a waste if they get a decent pick back.

 

[QuizGuy66]

I have a feeling he's either claimed on re-entry, or is traded at 50% to a contending team that needs to fill the bottom.

Claimed on re-entry? That hasn't been a thing for a while now
