REPORT: One Flyer Among Two Players Placed on Waivers

The two teams placed Andreas Johnsson (New Jersey) and Max Willman (Philadelphia) on waivers.

Johnsson is a 28-year old forward who has had some decent seasons in the NHL. In 248 career games for Toronto and New Jersey, he has netted 113 points. His best season came with Toronto in 2018-19 where he complied 43 points in 73 games. Once Johnsson made the move to New Jersey, he had a solid 35 points in 71 games. Unfortunately for Johnsson, there has not been much room for him on the team this year with so many youngsters playing well. He has spent most of his time in the minors, playing in just two NHL games this year. Johnsson can most definitely be a solid depth player for a team looking to make a push for the playoffs.

Max Willman has a much less storied career than Johnsson, as his NHL days got started late, at age 26. In his rookie season he complied just 6 points in 41 games as a center for the Flyers. This season, Willman has no points in just nine games. With the lack of NHL experience and him nearing his 28th birthday, it seems unlikely for him to find a consistent spot at the NHL level.
