Unless Johnson only plays in emergency situations and is acting more like a coach than anything else, I don't think it makes sense to resign Johnson. Signing him and retaining Risto leaves only 1 spot for a young defenseman to make the team, and there are 4 young defenseman that I would like to see have a legitimate shot: Grans, Andrae, Ginning and Attard.

they are not rebuilding or interested in seeing what they have in some of those dman.

Ginning and attard will only play by default. Grans lol

Chuck Fletchers school of thought….

Johnson is not someone a team would target unless they are rebuilding.

Seriously?

I personally think Ginning played better than Attard when they were called up.
- MBFlyerfan

I agree, his game was much more geared for the NHL grind. Not sure what Attard is yet.

walker didnt need a change of scenery.

He most certainly did!

Their results were almost identical.

Sorry Cam, not sure you have a lot of leverage. I would be comfortable making Cam the 13th fwd and just ride out this contract.

He most certainly did!
- jd250

He was hurt and stuck behind a logjam on D. It had nothing to do "with a change of scenery." They had younger RHD that would take up less cap space.

In order to do what?

To not be committed to Sanheim for 6 more years.

He has a NTC and then a MNTC kicks in 2027-28 (12 Teams). He controls his own destiny with the Flyers for the foreseeable future. Honestly, Sanheim is a good player and his contract is not all that bad.

As usual, the lack of talent is forcing him to play on the top unit as their #1.

I do not have a problem with the player. Just looking for cap flexibility in the longterm. You know rebuild and stuff.

Oh, I get it man. Every dollar counts at this point. I would honestly not be against trading anyone not named MM.

Not a rebuild

Never was - just a New Era marketing campaign.

Well if they play poorly enough this year or next and get a top 5 pick they will be officially tanking. So that's good.

Agreed.

correct as had zero to do with a change of scenery.

- jd250

why would a rebuilding team target a guy like EJ?

If the Sharks aren’t on his 10 team list he’s probably gone, no?

- jd250

he is a 25 year old more than likely a career minor leaguer just like Ginning.

looks like the flyers have mad that determination as well.

- Trox88

he aint keen lol....so the flyers will do what is best for cam and buy him out. That stuff goes a long way. Players respect that. Come free agency and trades players will look back and say that is a great organization.

- Minnyhock

That's my assumption. A buyout is the worst possible outcome in this situation. I don't want to read buying out Cam helps with potential bonus overages. Nope. Maximize cap space for next summer. Stop treating Laughton like Mark Messier and move him.
