Most people want him here simply because hes the best local NHL player we've probably ever had. And thats about it
- TrentKlatt


Exactly. And that's a stupid reason to bring in one player at the cost of 2-3 young assets/pics and also paying 5 million cap hit. If they want to sign him 2 years from now as a free agent, i'll evaluate it then. But as a trade, I'm glad we passed.

Good player, but probably one of the most overrated players in the eyes of many Flyers fans, I have seen in a long time.

And that's why I say thank goodness. Now maybe the talk about him will die down.

If Ryan was from Grand Rapids, Michigan instead of Cherry Hill, NJ, he wouldn't even be a spec on the radar.

He just won the Norris Trophy. They're going to want to pay him.

In a shortened season. The dude's got attitude and leadership problems, which brings his value down.

Holmgren is at Wendy's doesn't have time for anything else today. Just ask Sam Carchidi.

I said this same thing recently on here, but again, isn't it more than coincidence that a new coach comes in to the ducks and cuts Ryan's ice time several minutes per game, and the team becomes really good? Of course I don't think thats the only reason, but its a factor.

Sens lose Alfie, Silfverberg, Noesen, and 1st round pick and gain Ryan. Pretty bad, actually.

I don't care how long the Season was, he won the Norris trophy. Put him on the market, see how much those so called attitude and leadership problems affect his value! Much about nothing.
