Now for the biggest story of the day. TSN\u2019s Darren Dreger had an update on the Ryan Johansen grievance saga, and which way the arbitrator is leaning towards in this case.<\/p>\n
Johansen was traded from Colorado to Philadelphia following morning skate on March 6, 2024. When he arrived in Philly and was sent to the AHL, he refused to report, citing an injury. The Flyers terminated his contract that summer because of a breach of contract.<\/p>\n
