On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Flyers announced that they placed forward Ryan Johansen on unconditional waivers, seeking to terminate his contract. The move came as yet another shockwave in one of the most jam-packed news weeks of the Flyers’ offseason. In defense of their decision, the Flyers cited a “material breach” of Johansen’s contract, but the team provided no further details.
