Speculation: What to make of RyJo?

[SnS]

But was he good? There's a reason why they traded Byram to get Mittlestadt and dumped RyJo in the process.

Healthy enough to play was my point.

I think he is willing to play through minor injuries at the NHL level but not at the AHL level which is understandable

Glue?

Then he’s not that injured. Ride the bus, RyJo.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Briere said today Johansen says he's too injured to play

So he can't be bought out if that's true

That’s convenient since he was a regular for the Avs until the trade. Granted he was abysmal for them.

Was also placed on waivers (something you wouldn't be able to do with an injured player) and cleared. Look, I'm sure he's dealing with some things, they aren't serious enough to keep him from playing NHL games. Philly wanted nothing to do with him in the organization. Clear as day.

PTO...maybe

 

[MaKarter]

He's a bum. That's what there is to make of it.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

I feel robbed of a Lehigh Valley Phantoms/Hershey Bears matchup featuring Johansen & Kuznetsov as 1C’s

 

[End of Line]

He’s washed

 

[I am Canadian]

Why on Earth would Torts get the can? That’s preposterous at this stage.

1. Current management did not hire him.
2. His reputation potentially cost them Gauthier

 

[moegillknee]

RyJo not being bought out .Ltir next yr ,than retire

 

[LeBrun is a Clown]

PTO with Oilers, Vancouver, or Seattle. Id even bet money on it

Johansen's career is pretty much at a crossroads. He has one year left of an $8 mil per deal. I don't know if there is an NHL team even interested in taking him on at the moment. At 31 years old he's just a one way unmotivated individual and pretty much seen by almost everyone as a locker room cancer. FWIW he's had $62 mil of career earnings. If he somehow hasn't frittered most of that away he probably doesn't need to go on playing anyway and there's no reason for anyone here to feel sorry for him. As far as hockey he's made his bed but he's still probably rich as f***. Personally I don't know why anyone would care about him all that much at this point.

Reading between the lines at Briere’s end of the season summary, it didn't seem likely he would ever play for the Flyers.

I’d say at this point you could count on that

He has the modern Philly Flu

 

[serp]

Well according Briere RyJo may not be able to play hockey again . So seems like he's going to fade into retirement and then maybe pop-up as expert on some teams panel or maybe a podcast

Flyers' Daniel Briere doesn't think Ryan Johansen can play hockey again

Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Briere doesn't expect forward Ryan Johansen to play hockey again.

I’m honestly surprised he’s only 31.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

That was never not the dumbest contract around

 

[GCK]

PLD says hold my beer

 

[FlyguyOX]

He’s gaming an injury, or playing up a minor one, so that the flyers can’t make him play in the AHL.

Big bitch move.

For a team who values doing so much for their players during and after their playing days, the flyers are sure getting boned by the player-end of the relationship lately. May be time to start flexing the muscles of the org a bit more

They’re weaklings
