Yeah the Bobby Ryan trade is one of the reasons why I can tolerate the Ducks. Their management is so good. It's like the Red Wings, you just have to respect it. Even though it was a good hull at the time, it was still questionable. Now Silfverberg is becoming Bobby Ryan 2.0 and Ritchie has the potential to become Cory Perry-lite. The franchise just gave itself another 5+ successful seasons by trading a player that was a luxury at his highest value.
Unless Duclair becomes a 60+ dynamic forward, and that 1st becomes a a B level prospect the Yandle trade wont come close. I still think Yandle is more valuable then Ryan as well.
Very true; the Ducks have a great management, that we could only hope to have one day.
Although I wouldn't just crown Silfverberg the next Ryan yet. For all of his faults, Ryan is still a consistent 30 goal scorer when he has high-level linemates; Silfverberg hasn't even hit 20 yet, and is looking like a middle 6 forward right now.
