It seems the only reason, that the Flyers acquired Ryan Johansen, was so they can receive a first-round pick in return for
Sean Walker. It is not entirely clear if the reported injury of Ryan Johansen and his refusal to report to the Phantoms are connected. However, what is clear is the chances of a Ryan Johansen being bought out of his contract if healthy this summer has just increased and his chances of ever playing for the Flyers have just decreased if reports are true.
