[Rumour] Ducks shopping Bobby Ryan

<br />A) The Ducks get a #1 goalie? So what is Hiller? He's a pretty darn good goalie... Doubt Lou would waive his NTC for that.<br /><br /><img src='http://content.forum.canucks.com/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> Schnieder is playing great and I'm a huge fan of his but a 4 game hot streak is not proof of a proven #1<br /><br />C) Let say MG feels Schnieder is a good enough #1, who would be #2? Eddie Lack? Not sure he or Climie have had enough NHL experience to be a solid contributor. Are we going to dump on Schnieder like Calgary does on Kipper? Again, he hasn't got enough starts under his belt to indicate he's ready for that.<br />

They got scoring right now, future is a little up in the air once Teemu and Koivu both leave though.  I was talking with a guy at work the other day how the Ducks need a franchise tough D-man (no offence to Fowler, guy will be a studly offensively but doubt he will be a guy you depend on to shutdown other teams in dieing minutes).  I suggested with Weber being trade bait possibly and Nashville wanting a top end forward (presuming of course) then that could be a pretty decent trade.  Allows Nahsville to sign Suter, get a legit 1st line scorer that they can build around and Ducks can get that big D-man in which they have needed since departure of Pronger/Niedermyer.

As much as I would love to have Weber or Ryan on the Canucks, I feel like this is a perfect trade for both Anaheim and Nashville.

If he's available, MG should be all over this. A Powerforward and a game breaker on our 2nd line with Kesler *drools*

Raymond+Ballard+Tanev+1st Would that seal the deal? Or do we have to add in Shroeder??

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows

Booth - Kesler - Ryan

Higgins - Hodgson - Hansen

Malhotra - Lappiere - Weise

Edler - Hamhuis

Salo - Bieksa

Alberts - Rome

Our bottom pairing and depth on D will take a little hit, but we would be lighting teams up with that top 9.

It would take a lot to get a guy like Ryan from Ana but they also need defence so I would assume a major D-man would be a part of the package.

Ryan's a guy where all 29 other teams would take a look at it, wonder what the Canucks would give up for him(not saying it would happen, just wondering how he would look with the Sedins or Kess)

Moreso. It's a simple matter of numbers. Six defencemen versus twelve forwards dictates that supply and demand reality. How many 50+ point defencemen with 100mph slapshots and devastating bodychecking capability are there in the NHL? Five? I could think of 20 powerforwards quite easily:

1. Nash

2. Perry

3. Getzlaf

4. Iginla

5. Ovechkin

6. Thornton

7. Clowe

8. Kopitar

9. Hossa

10. Kesler

11. Jeff Carter

12. Umberger

13. Backes

14. Chris Stewart

15. Ladd

16. Oshie (arguably)

17. Smyth

18. Franzen

19. E. Staal

20. J. Staal

21. Malkin

Etc, etc...
