Free Agency
Johansen Hangs Up Skates After 900 NHL Games
Ryan Johansen, the former Blue Jackets star who hit 900 games, calls it a career after a bizarre saga with the Flyers that ended his contract in arbitration.

With the NHLPA's grievance shot down, Johansen walks away as a free agent nobody's rushing to sign, leaving vets wondering if this is the new blueprint for injury fallout.
