An arbitrator ruled that the Philadelphia Flyers did not wrongfully terminate Ryan Johansen\u2019s contract last year, team sources confirmed on Tuesday after an initial report by Darren Dreger of TSN.<\/p>\n

The Flyers cited a \u201cmaterial breach\u201d of contract by Johansen last August when they placed him on unconditional waivers<\/a> and then terminated his contract, which included one more year and $8 million. Johansen had been acquired in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche five months earlier and never played a game with the Flyers due to a hip injury.<\/p>\n

The arbitrator\u2019s ruling means neither the Flyers nor the Avalanche \u2014 who had agreed to split the final $8 million of Johansen\u2019s contract \u2014 have any financial responsibility, and neither team will incur any salary-cap punishment.<\/p>\n

Johansen\u2019s agent, Kurt Overhardt, quickly disputed the Flyers\u2019 moves last August and said Johansen suffered a \u201csevere hockey injury that requires extensive surgery.\u201d Johansen filed a grievance against the Flyers and, after almost a year, the dispute is at an end.<\/p>\n

Johansen, a 13-year NHL veteran, did not play during the 2024-25 season and remains a free agent.<\/p>\n
