its that time of year again....

rumors are starting to swirl that the sabres are interested in acquiring bobby ryan from the ducks. hockeybuzz.com says the price tag could include drew stafford and a top level prospects.



Again, just rumors... but i'm curious to hear thoughts on Ryan as a player since i don't follow the west too much. someone we should be hoping to bring in?

Re: bobby ryan

Also, Bobby Ryan for Drew Stafford? Apparently Al Davis faked his death and took a job working in the Ducks' FO.

They are trying to cut salary....I BELIEVE Ryan is making 5.5 and Stafford is at 4 but Sabres are up against the cap so I don't know how they will swing it.

Move someone else. Honestly, we just brought up a slew of Rochester guys who outplayed the regulars. If we got Bobby Ryan and moved someone else to save salary and replaced him with someone cheaper from Rochester, we'd be better off.

Who, specifically? Take your pick. Most of this team is playing like garbage.

yeah we'd have to move a player to a 3rd team and pick p some prospects.

Anyone need some soft, mediocre forwards for their Stanley Cup run?

Re: bobby ryan

Miller and Stafford to Ducks for Ryan and Hiller

Ducks can then trade Stafford to a 3rd team for picks and/or prospects

Anaheim wouldn't touch this, ever.

Re: bobby ryan

In addition to getting worse players overall, they take on more salary.

Re: bobby ryan
