Great interview with Bobby on the latest Ray and Dregs podcast. Like usual so honest and thoughtful in his answers.
Great interview with Bobby on the latest Ray and Dregs podcast. Like usual so honest and thoughtful in his answers.
The family made the decision to return to Idaho from Ottawa last month once they realized the NHL season was not going to be resuming in the foreseeable future. They hastily arranged airline tickets and were able to fly back on the final day the border remained open for non-essential travel between Canada and the United States in late March.
“We made some calls and got things together. We flew at the last possible moment,” Ryan said.
Prior to that, Ryan was observing an extended period of self-isolation in Ottawa after being on the Senators' team charter that returned from California with multiple cases of COVID-19.
Ryan recalls getting off the team charter in Ottawa and wondering if he was risking his own family’s health by returning home.
I think we see Bobby bounce back and flirt with 20 goals next season. One of the best ways to maintain sobriety is to dedicate to a very healthy lifestyle. Racist tweets aside I am hoping a healthy, happy and sober Bobby shows us some flashes of his play against Boston.
I must be out of the loop. Racist tweets?
hopefully he can continue to make progress in other parts of his lifeI think they are referring to his account 3-4 years ago:
Bobby Ryan deletes Twitter, taking controversial tweets with him
Not sure what that has to do with wishing a guy well though.

No there is a cap floor, there is absolutely no point in trying to save 2 million over 3 years for a way worse player. He is good for the room and the fans and community like him too. He is actually exciting to watch and has some skill on a team with no skill.With revenues hurt by COVID-19, I wonder if we consider buying Ryan out.[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Melnyk would save about 2 million over the life time of the contract by replacing Ryan's roster spot with an ELC or journey man for the remaining 2 years. The team would also gain flexibility because instead of paying out 15 million to Ryan over the next two years, they would only be paying out about 9 million (buyout cost+ELC roster spot cost). So they get 3 million in salary space to work with over the next two seasons, at the expense of about 1.8 million in lost salary space in the two seasons after that.

Who are we taking about here?No there is a cap floor, there is absolutely no point in trying to save 2 million over 3 years for a way worse player. He is good for the room and the fans and community like him too. He is actually exciting to watch and has some skill on a team with no skill.
Since we will be so low on salary spent and close to the cap floor, might as well use him as vet who provides skill and experience. This is a way to shelter the kids a bit, not throw them to the wolves. It keeps the internal competition higher, young forwards will have to outplay Ryan to earn ice time and PP time. For the last year it could change depending on what happen, but I don't see the rush for this season.
Forward vets should be Ryan, Duclair, Connor Brown and to some extent Colin white, Nick Paul and Brady Tkachuk. The rest won't have a lot of NHL experience, except maybe Tierney and Anisimov who might be there until the trade deadline.
When and where is the party by the way?The day Bobby isn't a Senator I will throw a big party and all of you are invited.
Good callWith revenues hurt by COVID-19, I wonder if we consider buying Ryan out.[TBODY] [/TBODY]
