Player Discussion Bobby Ryan Part VI

[Korpse]

Players can get complacent though. No one said he didn’t work hard to get to the nhl. Maybe Bobby worked very hard, got his big contract and stopped working hard. It happens.

You would be foolish to underestimate the pride these guys have. Coming off his worst season it’s likely he had a little extra motivation in the summer, should be no surprise Boucher mentioned Bobby came into camp in great shape.

He’s still skating like there’s a truck strapped on to his back and still has no balance. How’s he going to be for his remainder of his contract?

 

[JD1]

Why? See playoffs, last season. Sens don’t get past the first round without him

If he’s playing now, it’s because true professional doctors have cleared him to play. The problem is not that, it’s the fact that he keeps getting injured.

Reality is that the human body is not invincible, at some point it gets weaker based on use and injuries and everything. I don’t have Ryan’s full medical report in front of me, but safe to assume that his shot will never be as good as it was before. An offensive player is way less dangerous without a good NHL shot that can beat goalies clean

I am not sure why I have to explain all this. I feel like captain obvious

captain obvious versus the oblivious

I don't like your odds

I've heard this narrative before.

Anytime Bobby Ryan wants to show up and play like the best Player, Forward, Winger, American, right handed shot OR OHL graduate we’re ready for it.

That's a a pretty simple generalization. Not all players take pride in being the best player they can be. They take pride in being in the NHL.

All smoke and mirrors huh.. none of the rumors were true huh?
Bobby Ryan’s days in Ottawa are likely numbered – and he’s handling it like a pro

“I heard on Sunday it was done and somebody backed out at the last second,“Karl and I were like, ‘pack it up’. We thought we were gone. That’s just the way it goes. Then you’re like, I’ve got to move again?”

“I understand with my contract and the obligations, that I haven’t performed up to a $7-million player,”

“Me, in particular, I reached out to my agent and said hey listen, I’m sure you’re aware of what’s going on here, and I’m hearing it, and if I’m hearing it, you are. So he told me on Friday (before the deadline) that (being traded) was a very real possibility. And that was the most communication I had. ”

 

[Langdon Alger]

He scored 18 goals as a 27 year old on a playoff team, he’s never been elite, just hyped that way

You could argue he was elite in Anaheim, or certainly close, but he’s never been elite in Ottawa.

He was supposed to come in hot, but he cooled off quickly.

The Ottawa Senators were not open to trading Erik Karlsson. That was hashtagfakenews spread by the evil Toronto media who did the same thing with Kyle Turris before we extended him and didn't trade him. Bob McKenzie needed to lie to get his next hit of re-tweets. It was all about the ratings.

Eugene Melnyk is beloved amongst this fan base, but they'd also have you believe that there is some sort of animosity between the greater Senators fans and Melnyk.

Ultimately, I am pretty sure that Bobby Ryan is probably lying to drive up viewership for the 2018 NHL draft. Any fan who discusses the prospect of a Karlsson trade on this message board is an idiot who is buying into the media and twitter hype.

 

[JungleBeat]

Damn! So Dorion was really going to lower the value of Karlsson and package Ryan with him LOL.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Damn! So Dorion was really going to lower the value of Karlsson and package Ryan with him LOL.

And it seems to me like it was the other team that backed out at the last second. So if it was up to Dorion, EK's playing somewhere else already. Sure doesn't look good for his future in Ottawa.

It's like you are channeling all three of Count Dracula, JD1 and Coladin at the same time. Eerie!

You’re surprised by this?

You know how they say ignorance is bliss. You're ruining my bliss!!

I want to spend the next few months pretending Erik will be here forever. Not ready to deal with losing our Bobby Orr quite yet.

 

[pzeeman]

Damn! So Dorion was really going to lower the value of Karlsson and package Ryan with him LOL.

Or he wasn’t willing to lower the value, and that’s why no one bit.

 

[Silencio]

The Western conference team being Vegas I assume. Probably weren't willing to give up Theodore.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

It's like you are channeling all three of Count Dracula, JD1 and Coladin at the same time. Eerie!

Dorion was just listening to offers very intently and negotiating in return. THAT DOESNT MEAN THE THOUGHT OF TRADING ERIK KARLSSON EVERY CROSSED HIS MIIIIINNNDDDD!!!!

EDIt: just read the article, coming from the players mouth. he and karlsson were essentially preparing to pack lmao. but yeah were such idiots for believing the evil manipulating bob McKenzie...

im expecting Count Dracula spella backwards to be like " Listen, you weren't there, I wasn't there... bobby ryan wasnt there... how do we know?

From the Trade Rumours thread:

You said "not Karlsson" Do you have proof of this, a source? a link? Until then, only speculation on your part.
