Bobby Ryan is on pace for a 30 point season

[swiftwin]

very long trend of what exactly?

Long trend of improving his points total every year since joining the Sens?

This is just daydream specuation, but it would be cool to see Vegas end up with three goalies (say, Fleury Howard Raanta) and then move Fleury/Howard to Ottawa for Bobby Ryan.

Sens reluctantly pay Anderson about $4M to be a tndem / backup on the last year of his deal, but it's worth it to not have to pay Bobby Ryan $7M plus to produce 30 points for the next several years.

Vegas gets a "1st liner" which they REALLY need, and the Sens goaltending is set for the next little while with a younger starter not about to retire.

When has Ryan ever even come close to being only a 30 point player?

If he was one, why would Vegas want him?

He's been roughly a 25 goal 55 point guy his entire tenure in Ottawa. He started this season slow offensively but so did a majority of Ottawa's players. The odds of Ryan finishing with 30 points are very very low.

Isn't he usually a slow starter?

Isn't he usually a slow starter?

he usually comes in hot, but vanishes in the second half.
