However, a complication arose after the trade. Johansen disclosed that he was dealing with an injury, which prevented the Flyers from sending him down to the AHL. Briere commented on the situation, stating:
As a result, the Flyers were compelled to retain Johansen on their roster, utilizing valuable cap space that could have been allocated for other deadline moves.
If Johansen is eventually able to play for the Flyers, it would mark his second stint under John Tortorella's coaching. However, according to Briere, there has been no communication between Johansen and the passionate bench boss.
If the Flyers can prove that the Avalanche failed to disclose Johansen's injury before the trade, the Avalanche may face significant consequences.
