Am I missing something? I understand, Bobby Ryan grew up in a suburb of Philly till he was what...like 10? Later, his convict father who left the family spouted off that he should go back there.
Bobby Ryan himself moved out to Idaho because he love outdoor sports. He stayed, and openly talks about loving playing in Owen Sound as a hockey market. He comes out and says that he thinks Ottawa will be a better fit for him than Anaheim....a region where he's lived his whole adult life.
Hahahah...anyone that thinks it's a fait accompli he doesn't re-sign is a straight hater.
Just need him to pick a number so I can go get my Bobby Ryan jersey!
