LOL That's untrue. He played alongside top players in Anahiem...you can't compare last season to his previous season...he was playing injured for half the season with a hernia. You're just jealous his gonna make you squeal like a sea lion everytime he scores on Bernier.

even with the ducks they tried to have him anchor is own line and it failed , at this point in his career thats kinda the tag with him.

I mean in 3 years he could easily develop into someone who can lead a line, lead a team but i havent seen it yet.

But wait, this can't be true because he's going to sign as a UFA in Philly ------>

Hate to say I told you so but..

I grew up with his cousins so I always have had a special affection for the kid and wanted to see him in Philly one day but I honestly can't see paying him 7.25. I cringed at Giroux making 8. I dunno, maybe its just the going rate but seems like too much to me.

Assistant captian by comittee , dont ruin Karlsson by putting the C on him.
Also I dont think Ryan is what you would build your team around, he isnt in the top ten in the league,imo...I think they paid to much

Yep. He'll get the max for sure. Lucky enough to have him for as long as we have and at that salary.

Just to be clear, Ryan denied that the Sens ever offered him 7x7 over the summer. It was our idiot local sports reporters who were saying it.

Sens management never confirmed it either.

At the end of the day, this deal is a bit of an overpayment, but he would have got more on the open market.

The Sens won't be a cap team any time soon, so as fans we shouldn't care what certain players are making. Sens fans should just be happy that another star isn't leaving.

Not my call, it's official, Karlsson IS the new captain!!
And Bobby IS one of the great pieces to build your team for sure!!! 4 x 30 goal scorers don't grow on trees!

Be glad there's no restructuring in the NHL like in the NFL.

7.25 in today's market is a steal for Bobby Ryan. 7.25 puts him T-17th in terms of salaries league wide.

It's safe to assume salaries are going to start to skyrocket (see Toews, Kane, Subban deals), meaning that in 2-3 years, that deal is going to look really good.

I know the guys skilled and whatnot but 7.5 for 7 seems kinda a gamble for a guy that has been known to need a top end player to play with
- nightmare3020


They were impressed that, unlike some other 30+ goal scorers, he decided not to spend his summers training at Dunkin Donuts, scratching his, um, nad.

I bet easily 7y x 8M on the market next year! especially with the cap predicted to go up! Very happy at this amount! the only little extra the Sens paid might be the little 250k as 7x7 would have been perfect... won't complain for 250k, especially when the Sens aren't a cap team!
