"I take things personally," Ryan said. "Anaheim to me has been a team over the past year that really has shown me nothing to prove that they want me here, unfortunately. Obviously, it's not the ideal situation. When you get drafted, you want to win championships with that team and every time they look to add a piece to the puzzle, I'm the piece going the other way.
"I gotta be honest with you. At this point, I don't care. Move me … because it's just tough going to the rink every day knowing that if something goes wrong, you're going to be the guy moved."

Now knowing that the Ducks pretty much have to trade Ryan, maybe the asking price could go down slightly? We can hope.

I feel bad for Bobby Ryan. He's a 30 goal per year guy and that's the treatment he gets from the Ducks' organization... It's not like he's Franzen and floats his way to 30 goals cause he's bored and has the ability to get over 40. Ryan's compete level is higher and hopefully he goes to a team that actually wants him.

Guys, we have to be realistic here. Kenny has a very hard job to do and it takes alot of patience, knowledge and due dilgence to improve this hockey team. All 29 other teams are trying to improve themselves so Kenny has alot of competition. Here is a roster I think is very realistic for next season. One which I feel Kenny can achieve if things go his way this summer...
