Since Bobby Ryan has apparently no value
To ANA - Bobby Ryan (OTT retains 20%)

To OTT - JT Brown, 3 rd pick


Eaves to LTIR would clear enough cap space

Rakell / Getz / Perry
Cogs / Kesler / silvy
Ritchie / Henriq/ Kase
Wags / verm-grant/ Ryan

OTT dumps Ryans contract and can extend Karlsson or trade him for full value to rebuild.

Ducks have more important things to spend 5.5-6 mill on. And if your thinking is that he had great success in Anaheim, he did, while playing with Getz and Perry. He’s not finding that game again playing 4th like with vermette and Wagner.

My thinking is that it’s a lot cheaper than renting Mcdonagh or Evander Kane. He’s skilled enough to play well against others teams 4th lines and won’t be a defensive liability. Would trade him after the season for a pick (Ari) to dump the remaining salary that could be used for Kase Montour etc.

I get what you’re saying but This has been a hard contract to dump already. If ducks take it, then no one else wants it, now they start losing the young guys that they can’t afford, or have to give a prospect and a 1st for another team to take it from them, it’s no cheaper than paying the price for a true rental like Kane or getting a Hoffman or patches at the end of the day. Think it’s a bad idea unless like the other rumours, a bad deal goes back (lucic)

Yeah I didn’t think his trade value was that bad. Originally was going to try to swing a way to get Kane but GMBM doesn’t want to give up the prospects. Figured if Ryan could have a playoffs similar to last year he would have a little more value than now. I agree with you though not worth losing good prospects if you can trade him down the road.
