Unrestricted free-agent Ryan Johansen has officially filed a grievance with the NHL as he feels he was unfairly cut by the Philadelphia Flyers and his contract was terminated.

The NHLPA has filed a grievance on behalf of forward Ryan Johansen regarding the Philadelphia Flyers' decision to terminate his contract.


At last seasons trade deadline, Johansen was was traded from the Colorado Avalanche to Flyers which seemed like a good move as the Avs got defenseman Sean Walker and a fifth-round pick in 2026, and the Flyers got a veteran forward who still has a lot left in the tank. Unfortunately, he did not appear in a single game for the Flyers as he was placed on the long-term injured list with a hip injury.

"Ryan Johansen has a severe hockey injury that requires extensive surgery, which has been scheduled," Overhardt said at the time. "Since being traded to the Philadelphia Flyers, Ryan has worked in good faith with the club, its medical staff, and authorized third-party physicians."


The Flyer announced in August that they were planning to terminate his contract in regards to "material breach", which does not mean much to fans, and to us either. His agent was surprised that after working so closely together on getting him back to playing, that they would let him go.

Johansen's agent Kurt Overhardt from KO Sports said, "The Flyers' attempt to terminate Ryan's contract is disappointing."


Johansen and his agent both feel he was cut from the tea, wrongfully as they will be contesting the reason for the Flyers decision.
