Also of note Johansen is represented by the same agent that represents Cutter Gauthier. Flyers reportedly passed on Buium because of the agent. Wonder if there is also some pettiness going on here too |
Didn't they waive him the minute they acquired him and assign him to their AHL team when he cleared? It seemed like the Flyers were all to happy to buy him out this summer, but than he claimed he was injured and should be put on LTIR. So he basically would not have to play the rest of season. Briere and the Flyers brass did seem skeptical from the get go. I'd have to defer to getbak or someone better versed on the CBA about buying out an injured player. I think its only permitted if the player allows it otherwise they expect to go to Robidas Island.
Would not surprise me if the Flyers were investigating this all along. Not sure if there's a bone to pick with the agent or not. But the Flyers might feel like he didn't honor his contract and can avoid a buyout here and save a few dollars.
