Bailey’s Daily: Johansen Wants Flyers, Rempe Called Out By Devils

In Tuesday’s edition of Bailey’s Daily, we’ll be talking the latest Philadelphia Flyers news, NHL news, stories, highlights, and more from the last day.

Flyers News

• The Philadelphia Flyers acquired Ryan Johansen in the Sean Walker trade, but he hasn’t reported to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms yet; he’s reportedly injured, but wants to reconcile and appear in games for the NHL club.
• Should the Flyers sign star SHL winger Marcus Sylvegard? It could be a good idea, and players like Sam Ersson, Adam Ginning, and Olle Lycksell have played with him in the past.
• For PhHN+ members: Denis Gurianov, one of the Flyers’ newest additions, could hold the keys to the team’s success down the road in the midst of a massive playoff push.
• In case you missed it, Flyers head coach John Tortorella was suspended two games and fined $50k for his “unprofessional conduct” against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
• The John Tortorella ejection was an all-time classic, by the way; refusing to leave the bench is a rockstar move and shows he has the Flyers’ backs unconditionally.

NHL News from National Hockey Now

• After Matt Rempe was once again ejected for a bogus cheap shot, New Jersey Devils tough guy Kurtis MacDermid called out the rookie, telling him to “be a man”.
• Speaking of the Devils, this post-NHL trade deadline Montreal Canadiens trade isn’t moving the needle at all, but it is always fun seeing a trade go down well after the deadline.
• After colliding with Vladimir Tarasenko, Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad is out for a minimum of two weeks – for now.
• The Chicago Blackhawks just signed prospect Landon Slaggert to an entry-level contract; here’s what it means for these three Blackhawks prospects.
• According to Elliotte Friedman, Daniel Alfredsson and the Ottawa Senators may be willing to welcome Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson back home.
