It seems there's bad blood brewing in Philadelphia, as reports coming out are stating that former Flyer Cutter Gauthier and his agent caused this Ryan Johansen mess.
Ryan Johansen and his agent have issued a statement following news of the contract termination that they were going to file a grievance as Johansen was dealing with a major hip injury which is the reason he never reported to the team to play.
Flyers insider Anthony DiMarco reports that this alleged hip injury surfaced back when the team tried to demote Ryan Johansen to the AHL. DiMarco also says this whole situation has been stoked by Johansen's agent Kurt Overhardt, who also represented former Flyers top prospect Cutter Gauthier, when he too parted ways with the team under very bad circumstances earlier in the year.
Cutter Gauthier was the 5th overall pick of the Flyers in 2022, and sadly he only ever played one game in his NHL career before he was immersed in a bunch of controversy.
Ryan Johansen was also a first-round pick back in 2010 when the Columbus Blue Jackets selected him with the 4th overall pick. He's played in 905 career NHL games, having scored 202 goals and 578 points.
There's no doubt that when both Cutter Gauthier and Ryan Johansen have the same NHL agent, and both players are involved in a ton of controversy, fingers obviously start to be pointed towards the agent now, as it all seems too coincidental.
