Ryan is the third best player on his line :/


I think you'll have to just do the research.

He may be, but that doesn't discredit the consistency in his goal scoring. That consistency in his line mates is what elevates a player like Giroux to the next level.

Maybe all of these teams want JVR for a reason...

Unless its bringing in a star d-man, keep the kid.

We should all go in on a play station for holmgren if he's bored. Hey holmer there's another safer way to get your fix!

It's possible they are getting a defenseman in that 7 player deal (rumor).

I'm not trying to discredit Ryan's performance, but he does play on a pretty power packed line out there in Anaheim.
- eayost

He hasn't always played with RG and CP. He's spent a fair bit of time on the 2nd line out there too.

if dk said it, it probably won't happen. only about 5% of what he posts comes true, if that

I'm not saying its going to happen but you would think that a defenseman will be coming in return.

if not it would have to be a set up move to get a defenseman. i have a feeling homer has a very complicated offseason planned and his first strike will occur tomorrow. nothing would surprise me

Take it FWIW

RT @HockeyBreak Source tells me #Flyers are close to acquiring Ducks 1st round pick (6th overall). Flyers like Teravainen, Dumba & Reinhart

Lets put it this way. They have interest in other players but when it comes to any deal JvR is the name being mentioned. This is the same player last summer who was untouchable after his stellar play during the playoffs.
- stveshdy

I'm quite sure that JVR is being discussed. And he'll be discussed even more around the Draft. Just as he was discussed last Season around this time.

So was there a 5 pm presser or conf call with Howson?

If JVR is so wanted I think an Enstrom plus deal would be the best direction for this team.

True. Will find out soon enough.

Past 4 seasons:
Bobby Ryan (25 years old): 31, 35, 34, 31 goals
Scott Hartnell (30 years old) : 30, 14, 24, 37 goals

Bobby Ryan is a true model of consistency in the NHL, which you don't see often. 5 years in the league and the past 4 he has 30+ goals. This is the kind of guy that just performs. Pair him up with a guy like Giroux who is another true model of consistency and a super star in the league... your looking at something special.

Keep in mind... you would have BOTH Ryan and Hartnell playing with Giroux. Would be an absolute force.


How many guys around the entire league have scored 30+ goals the past 4 seasons? Would love to see it.

What would you be willing to give up to get Ryan?

SJ likes JvR. So maybe thats the team in the West.

not likely, it would probably be as part of a package if it even has legs

Joseph Broni from Twitter reports that JVR has been traded for Crosby and Jesus Christ

He promised the Clb fan base that he'd try real hard not to get fleeced once again before the draft.

Not exactly sure, but I wouldn't hesitate to include JvR in the deal

In that TSN video Schenn was mentioned as a player Anaheim would probably ask for in return.
