News: Flyers planning to flip Johansen

[cheesymc]

Do you think there’s like a GM group chat where you can post a guy being available or do you have to call each one individually

Most of these guys are old or old school and call. I’m sure GMs that are friends text each other. Can’t imagine them having a GM only group chat if some of them hate each other haha. But it would definitely make things more efficient with modern technology. Besides I’m sure they are trying to bid up prices and do so on individual calls.

I can't see the return being worth limiting themselves to a single retention slot next season. One of their three goes to Hayes til like 2027, so if they retained through next year two they probably nix their ability to get a solid return for Ristolainen in the summer or take themselves off the table as a facilitator--though I assume that service will be in lower demand with the cap increasing.

But who even wants RyJo anyway.

 

[Gruyeriev]

Maybe the Sharks take him (along with the Avs 1st) since their Top Centers are out?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I’d trade for Johansen if the Flyers gave us a 3rd and took Benning or Burroughs back.

I am picturing Lou receiving a fax of Ryan Johansen’s face

 

[BigFatCat999]

Ok, Barrie for RyJo

 

[majormajor]

del

 

[Shark Finn]

Didn't they already flip him to the AHL?

 

[Winston Wolf]

I think I recall the maximum number of retention spots being 3.

And they retained on Hayes and Provorov as well as Hanifin now. They can't retain on Johansen.

Kings are retaining on Provorov, not the Flyers.

Flyers still have one spot left.

 

[Reality Czech]

I'd do Allen for RyJo, 1 for 1

Philadelphia gains capspace, Montréal gains a lottery ticket

Montreal gains a scratch off ticket that's already been scratched and thrown on the ground

 

[HTFN]

Flip as in trade him for assets to another team…or flip like a pancake

If Ryan Johansen is a pancake he's that one you say "oh... well the dog can have that one" as you dial in the heat.

I mean, at max retention again, Ryan Johansen at $2M could be worth a flyer for somebody. Becomes a relatively easy contract to unload again or mostly bury at that point.

The issue is...i don't think anyone would be looking to give up much of any value for him, even at that price. So for Philly...is that really how they want to use their last retention spot for the year? And have it continue to be tied up for next year as well?

It feels like the return for Johansen @ $2M is probably not altogether in a different ballpark from what they might be able to get just continuing to play "3rd party facilitator" in other deadline deals. So...not sure it's worth it.

 

[Leafs87]

RYJO at 50% retained for Kampf

Lou? Pony Express.

Doubt the Flyers trade RyJo with retention until the Hanafin retention is off the books.

 

[Tripod]

It just seems like the Flyers have no reason to retain, unless a asset is coming back since the cost to buy out is so cheap. Plus it ties up a retention spot next year too.

So that seems unlikely.

More likely a bad contract for bad contract deal happens...though I won't be shocked at a Jake Allen trade with Philly adding.

Allen is not a bad goalie, he just never fit in on the Montreal team. He was on the Stanley Cup winning team in St. Louis behind Bennington, and before he backed Benny he was in a tandem with Brian "Moose" Elliot (I always liked Moose when he was with the Flyers).

Yeah and for philly, they have Ersson to be the #1 so they just need someone to play 5-8 games and give them a chance to win when Errson rests.

 

[tictactoe]

Briere will end up flipping himself.

 

[SEALBound]

In all seriousness, RyJo @50% for Noel Acciari in Pit seems like a decent swap for both sides.

Flyers would be wasting a retaining spot for next season on top of Hayes.

Probably not going to fly.

If you take Nieto and Carter back I'd do it straight probably.

RyJo and a pick for Jeff Carter
