Nuxfanabroad Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Eriksson for Bobby Ryan(7.25 mill..brutal, yeah) So Ott retains say, 750k to even it out. Ryan's 29 yo..they both have 5 yrs left of their diabolical deals. Since Ryan's injured & they need bodies, they throw in a better prospect(eg:Chlapik) we throw in some dud like Grenier. Essentially we'd have Bobby Ryan for 5 yrs of 6.5 mill. That, & upgrade a prospect. Tired of the Swedish spin-cycle. Need a new approach... Yea or nay?

numb3r 16 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 yay ryan might no be the fastest but he has a helluva shot, we would also have him till hes only 34. not sure why ott would do it tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I remember hearing about Ryan's home life as a kid, and it was not easy for him. He seems like a really nice person. I have no trouble welcoming him to the Canucks. Is he any good still though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombies are scarier than you, ferGawdsakes! Ott made a lousy trade; we, a questionable signing. After this, Sbisa to Edm for a 2nd(their D is gettin hit!)

Pears Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think Ryan still has more value than Eriksson but it's nice to see an original proposal. Maybe adding a prospect and/or pick gets it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Okay, I texted my brother in law (In Ottawa, Sens fan) and he told me to (abr) "f**k off." So I texted him a link to the page.... We might have a new CDC'er in a few mins! We'll all know it's him because he'll be all riled up about your proposal. Spoiler If he shows up here, ask him what makes him more angry - 1) Being born without buttocks, and never successfully developing any. 2) Having the same hair cut as he did as a newborn, or 3) NFA's trade proposal. He's right though. Great idea, for us, but doesn't make sense for the Sens, long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'd do it, hope J.B. pushes hard for it. Even throw in a pick to make it happen please! His size, strength and shot should make him a good running mate for Hank, and given how he's younger we would likely be able to get a couple more good years from him than from Loui. For those reasons alone I think this move should take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flipped the pages once upon a time, said to myself "gtfo" then made another pass a few weeks later thinking it must have been a bad day... Nope. That site is a nega-tor; so much wtf going on there I didn't even start an account and haven't read again. Doom gloom death anger destruction and intense hatred, all focussed on hockey players. Weak sauce. Maybe I'm soft or something, but that site bummed me out. Too much negativity on all fronts. I thought you were respectable, decent, a whimsical man of class! Really disappointed right now. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really disappointed right now. ;-) On HF, you're wiser than I..no doubt, it's a negative troll-fest. But the Utica blokes(Van's page) give pretty good insights. Also the trades & rumours page, you get some context on how each team's fanbase view their perimeter guys & prospects. Being out of continent, it's hard to keep abreast of the young, emerging talent, around the league. Akin to perusing the daily NYT's newspaper site. You get the odd bit of interesting social commentary; but take their facts & stats with a grain of salt. As for your last meandering, wayward comment, not the first time I've been damned with the ol' faint praise..the Missus often warns me I may go back on waivers :^/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Only proposal I can see where the Canucks take on Bobby Ryan is if the Sedins go to Ottawa. Sedins each 25% retained for Ryan, 1rst round pick in 2017, and one of Dahlen or Chlapik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Eriksson has a NMC. So he would have to agree to go. He just signed here so it's doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iced Canucks Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 This is a interesting proposal, most Sens fans are disgruntled with Ryan especially after seeing what Silfverberg is doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
