Philadelphia Flyers place player on waivers so they can terminate his contract
The Philadelphia Flyers are looking to bounce back from a terrible year last season. After hiring John Tortorella as their new head coach it appears the team is preaching accountability and effort. Now it appears at least one member of the Flyers roster won't be around for the rest of this season.
Today the Flyers announced they'd placed Linus Sandin on unconditional waivers for purposes of termination.
Linus Sandin (PHI) is on unconditional waivers for the purpose of contract termination.
It is expected that Sandin will leave the NHL and return to his native Sweden. The Flyers and Sandin agreed to a 1 year deal paying him $750,000 back in May, but it's clear the fit between the two parties weren't a fit.
