That didn’t take long. With Nick Seeler on IR, Sean Walker is reportedly being dealt to Colorado:

Anthony shared the following on Twitter: “Could the assets net the Flyers another player in a separate deal? They’re looking at Jakob Chychrun from Ottawa and might use these assets from Colorado to try to do it.”
Ryan Johansen has been in the league for a long time. After this season, he’s got one more year remaining on an eight million dollar deal that is actually cut in half, $4 million AAV because Nashville is eating the other 50% of it. There are reports saying, however, that he’s going on waivers:
I believe Philly is putting Johansen on waivers.

The other report out there is that the 1st rounder is in 2025. There’s wheeling and dealing going on here. Will continue to update as more details become available.
EDIT – Johansen is indeed on waivers, and the Flyers are throwing in a 5th:
Full trade, per sources:
