I think he is a hell of a talent and is definitely a key piece to a winning roster. Was it to early to acquire him though?
The amount of pieces we gave up for him have stung but looking back did it accomplish what we really needed?
Hindsight is 20/20, yes I know, but with the way things have played out till now has the move really help us. If he had more years remaining on his contract then he could be seen as positive piece going forward but with the uncertainty of him resigning it could leave us in the hole of losing 4 first rounders. If we trade him we could get something back but like with Spezza we will lose in the returned value.
For arguments sake would the 10th pick left winger Nick Ritchie, with a Height 6.03, Weight 226 who scored 39 goals and 35 assists for 71 points look good our star depleted roster next season or two?
At the time we all thought we were a few players away from contending and management were moving in the right direction. Now it seems like Ownership and management have decided to tear it down. Does keeping Ryan even make sense any more?
