Confirmed Buy-Out Senators to waive and then buyout RW Bobby Ryan

[vanarchy]

Don’t they need to get to the floor?

We can help.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I’d take him in Edmonton. The Kassian situation kinda worked out for us other than we signed him for too much.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Poor guy?

He's made 60 million dollars living out his childhood dream of playing in the NHL...

I wish I had his bad luck...

You wouldn’t have wanted his childhood, I can tell you that.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

All joking aside, you think Holland would consider Ryan at league minimum? Middle six RW.

I’d pay him double minimum if he’s been keeping sober. He’d be a step up for our 3rd line and I’d like if my club showed a player support who battled addiction to return to the nhl

Come on down to Vancouver

[Go Wings]

I can see him signing with a team that has to shed players to get under the cap like Boston or Tampa Bay and they would probably both be good fits for him too.

 

[Matty Sundin]

You can say it might be harsh to let him go but you can’t be weak when it comes to business decisions and at the end of the day he hasn’t been worth his contract for quite some time.

 

[jetsforever]

surprising, at least he was able to get the Masterton this year

Would Ottawa have traded Bobby Ryan (50% retained) + 3rd OA + 5th OA + 51st pick

For

Marner

Would Ottawa have traded Bobby Ryan (50% retained) + 3rd OA + 5th OA + 51st pick

For

Marner

Absolutely not. Marner is not that valuable.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Would Ottawa have traded Bobby Ryan (50% retained) + 3rd OA + 5th OA + 51st pick

For

Marner

f*** no.

Why do people keep proposing the 3 and 5 for Marner?

Ottawa should not even trade either pick for Marner alone.

Leafs made their bed with all those high contracts and now have to live with them in a cap flat world.

 

[SensFactor]

I was a big fan of Bobby but it was time to move on. All remnants of the Sens from 2016-2017 are gone. Borowiecki, Pageau, Anderson and now Ryan have departed. The Sens will have an new identity with Chabot, Tkachuk, White, Stutzle/Byfield etc.

Marner

I would have barfed in my mouth.

 

[TFHockey]

Marner will be harder to move in a flat cap season. If Toronto really wants the space I'd wait until next year when the return would be higher. He is an elite winger and he is paid like he is.

 

[SI90]

Don’t know if this was covered but since he was bought out he can sign with a team before fee agency begins correct?

 

[LMFAO]

I'm going to guess he signs 1 year 900k in Tampa and gets 45pts

f*** no.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Well, as people know, this lowers the cap hit by half.

I think Melnyk did it to take advantage of the situation that most teams are having with cap, so he's making as much cap room as possible to take on garbage contracts in exchange for top prospects and players as "gifts" for taking these albatross contracts off their hands.

in 3 years Ottawa will be a top 5 team...

BTW..not an Ottawa fan. Just think this is what Melnyk is thinking.

This is not what he is thinking.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

f*** no.

Why do people keep proposing the 3 and 5 for Marner?

Ottawa should not even trade either pick for Marner alone.

Leafs made their bed with all those high contracts and now have to live with them in a cap flat world.

I could see 3OA OR 5OA for Marner.

I mean, if you're taking Lucas Raymond or Marco Rossi with one of those picks... isn't Marner exactly what you'd hope they would be? With the way rookie contracts are trending... you get 3 cheap years of that rookie and then if he's at Marner level play, you're paying him Marner level money.

Guess I just wouldn't poopoo getting a top flight elite NHL wing for a guy who could become a top flight elite NHL wing and who you'd have to pay accordingly in a couple years anyway.

You know the cap is flat for the next 3 seasons right?

 

[604]

Really surprised that Melenyk spent the cash on a buyout.

 

[kilowatt]

I always liked Bobby Ryan, even though he terrorized the Kings for years. I would still take him in LA for a one-year deal if the Kings don't feel like their prospects are ready, although he'd have literally no reason to come to LA.

I always loved this sequence of events:



And that time he made Peter Harrold look like, well, Peter Harrold:

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I believe he can unless it changed with those other changes

 

[UpGoesRupp]

Lots of armchair therapists here. Bobby deserves a new start and the senators are helping him accomplish that. Some things are bigger than hockey/entertainment.
All the best to Bobby, dude knows how to put a puck in the net and will soon continue to do so.
