Will the Flyers be able to fit him in?

Ryan says signing with Flyers as free agent is 'very high on my list'

But is signing Ryan "very high on my list" for the Flyers?

 

[Langdon Alger]

After what he did, why would he be a bad influence for the young players?

He’s not. Dumb comment for that guy.

 

[Starat327]

no room, no money, no need.

Bad Influence for young players

Comon now dude, you got Thompson an ex alcoholic and you don't want Boby after he came back from alcoholism too ?


Such a dumb comment to hate on someone past abuses after he made a recovery that started because his dad abused their family. Wow

 

[Barnaby]

Why would you want to date a married woman? There are plenty of single ones.

Are you really asking someone to explain why they want to date Margot Robbie. I get lukewarm interest in Bobby Ryan, but c’mon!

 

[Barnaby]

Flyers have depth and AV’s scheme doesn’t seem like it’s a great fit due to Ryan’s lack of speed but Phillys interested then have at it.

 

[TheKingPin]

I don’t see it being a good fit.

 

[EXTRAS]

Is this really speculation? I mean, Ryan wants to sign there, but that doesn’t mean the feeling is mutual. I want to date Margot Robbie, but that doesn’t mean she’ll leave her husband for me.

Not with that attitude she won't.

 

[NewDef]

Say being home, having dad around, willing to have one good year at the time at 1 mil? Why not? May be the guy that saves the season when a top 6 gets ir for 6 weeks in a short condensed season... if it does'nt work just burry it in the AHL. If it works and you dont need it before trade deadline, kovalchuk it for a 3d or 2nd...

 

[SpezDispenser]

Woopee for the Flyers! The prize of free agency!

 

[mdm815]

If Fletch was willing to give Stewart a shot, why not Bobby. It makes zero sense but it gets me in the feels

 

[tictactoe]

Where would he play? Giroux, Konecny, Voracek, JVR, Lindblom, Farabee NAK, Raffle. I heard Flyers might be interested in names like Gaudreau or maybe even Laine. Everyone love good come back story.

After what he did, why would he be a bad influence for the young players?

I think he's referring to his questionable work ethic rather than his drinking problem. The reality is he isn't a hard working player, he hasn't been in tip top shape really at any point during his time in Ottawa. I wouldn't want Ottawa's up and coming players thinking playing at Bobby's pace is acceptable. I think that's solely the reason why he's out of Ottawa, they want to push the pace, and that is not Ryan's game.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

When healthy Bobby Ryan is still productive. Problem is his fingers are made of glass.

 

[Clayonator]

Yes I have.

I have also seen this guy:

It’s good to know what you’re up against.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Bobby Ryan’s possession number don’t look all that bad and he would seem more of a depth option during the regular season but could be a good veteran option in the playoffs.

If Ryan could play a full season he would probably be good for 30-35 points, but he’s had issues with injured hands playing in Ottawa so who knows if his hands are still there.

It would be a difficult decision as a GM but I’d pass on Bobby Ryan knowing the Flyers already have plenty of capable scorers in their lineup.

What the Flyers are more in need of are 4th line grinder type of players and a 3rd line center that can play weather it be Nolan Patrick or Morgan Frost.

“Not in tip top shape”

Substance abuse can do that to you.

 

[Zach716]

Terrible in Buffalo, great in Vegas. I think he will get paid but not near the price most people are expecting.

 

[Tripod]

Just no room at the Inn

Giroux Couts Voracek
Lindblom Hayes Konecny
JVR Frost Farabee
Raffl Laughton NAK

Plus Patrick as the wild card.

For Ryan to be an option a trade would have to happen first. And maybe that will happen. We will see. But the Flyers don't need anymore wingers right now especially when they also have:

Sandin
Laczynski
Alllison
etc... waiting on deck.

 

[TeamRenzo]

Slow, Bad Influence for young players, top 6 is full and so on

Why is he a bad influence on young players? he wouldn't play in the top six, so that is a moot point.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Is this really speculation? I mean, Ryan wants to sign there, but that doesn’t mean the feeling is mutual. I want to date Margot Robbie, but that doesn’t mean she’ll leave her husband for me.

But it means... that there's a chance? (For both of those situations )

 

[Rebels57]

Signing Bobby Ryan, however, is very low on the Flyers list.

 

[Agalloch]

Robert Shane Stevenson would fit on the 3rd line.

 

[HyPnOtiK]

No
NO
HELL NO
GOD NO PLS NO


You need more?

I don't see why not..... low risk decent reward. He has the talent and he'll be cheap.

Of course. Just gotta move out JVR...not for cap reasons but for roster reasons
