Ducks Shopping Bobby Ryan?

[RGM81]

Have some friends that go to all the local junior games and thus get to know quite a few of the scouts. All just rumours but.....

"Apparently", the magic number to have acquired Ryan was "4". That being the number of players and/or 1st round picks, that Murray wanted for Ryan.

The two top contenders were the Rangers and Flyers and the rumour had the Rangers offering Gaborik as part of a package (Murray had no interest) but instead wanted a package consisting of: Anisimov, Gratchev, Kreider and either a young d-man or a first-round pick. Apparently, too much from the Rangers end.

The Flyers apparently centered their deal around JVR, Voracek and two others(?) The Ducks really liked/wanted Couterier but the Flyers apparently wouldn't include him but rather were willing to add Schenn to the mix. JVR, Schenn, a yound d-man and either another player or pick, was apparently too much for the Flyers as well

As for the Leafs, apparently their offer was as with everything Maple Leafs - a joke. Their apparent package of: Kadri, Bozak and Aulie, didn't get much of a reply. Apparently, Burke also wanted to try and ship Komisarek as part of the deal, with the Ducks sending another prospect back. Nice try.

Just all chit-chat but the Ryan Miller talk was also interesting. From one guy who scouts from the (used to be Norris division) - if Miller gets traded, two top dark-horses - Detroit and Chicago. Imagine Miller on either of those teams.

4 elements for a potential superstar seems a fair value request. A pick, a prospect, and 2 roster players is probably what it would take to get it done for a guy like Ryan. That said, with the coaching upheaval I think that should quell the rumours for a while now. But hey, the trade deadline is just a couple of months away.

detroit has a goalie, a very good goalie.

i could see him going to chicago though.
buffalo doesnt need miller, miller hates the fans, and enroth (in my opinion) is better.
enroth never loses, so why sit him.

buffalo has two starting goalies, and they need to trade one.

also, the ducks are dumb for not taking those offers.
bobby ryan is one player.

gaborik for ryan is already crazy

jvr, and voracek plus two others.???
murray is greedy.

Definitely dumb if the Ducks didn't take some of those supposed rumored offers.
