Wednesday Morning Fly By: Still popping

*Folks, it is clear that Danny Briere and Keith Jones are bored, because we had another day of Things Happening. Namely, the Flyers deciding to try to terminate Ryan Johansen’s contract. [BSH]

*So now he’s on waivers… [NBC Sports Philly]

*… the reason being given is “material breach” of the contract… [Inquirer]

*… the general supposition seems to be that this is related to the mystery injury that has kept Johansen from reporting since he was traded to the Flyers last season… [PHLY]

*… and naturally Johansen and his agent and the NHLPA will be contesting all of this, so we shall see what happens. Spicy stuff! [The Athletic]

*Hilariously, next up in the 25U25 is Alexei Kolosov, who may or may not go here anymore. [BSH]

*If you’re a subscriber over at Charlie’s website, you can check out his breakdown of the Kolosov sturm und drang. [PHLY]

*In addition to the Kolosov uncertainty there’s also the overall uncertainty surrounding the Flyers’ situation in net. How unlike the Flyers to have uncertainty in net, truly. [BSH]

*Outside of the Flyers nonsense, the Edmonton Oilers elected not to match the two offer sheets sent to Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway, so they’re on their way to St. Louis. [Sportsnet]

*And finally, with all of this Stuff Happening, it’s a perfect time for a brand new episode of the BSH Podcast! Please to enjoy and then like and subscribe. We thank you for this. [BSH]
