Ryan Johansen's Contract Termination: What You Need to Know

Ryan Johansen's Unconditional Waivers

Ryan Johansen was placed on unconditional waivers by the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday, for the purpose of terminating his contract due to a material breach.

The Flyers would not comment on what the breach was. Johansen never played for Philadelphia after being acquired in a trade from the Colorado Avalanche on March 6, along with a first-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, for defenseman Sean Walker, due to a hip injury.

Background on Ryan Johansen's Situation

Prior to the trade, the 32-year-old had accumulated 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) in 63 games for the Avalanche. The Flyers had initially intended to place Johansen on waivers after the trade but were unable to do so because of his hip injury.

Philadelphia general manager Daniel Briere expressed uncertainty in June regarding Johansen's recovery from the injury.
