Scored at an almost 20 goal pace last year before a season ending injury, I imagine he will make their team and be flipped at the TDL if healthy/good

Hopefully he gets a chance to play in the leauge.

This is true of Bobby for the last 5 years. Scores at a decent pace when healthy - but is rarely healthy.

Hot start helped a bit too.

4 goals in his first 3 games
3 in the next 30.

 

[izzy]

Love it

Scored 3 goals in 30 games after 4 goals in his first 4.

He scored 4 goals his first 3 games and then was largely invisible.

To be fair, our entire team was invisible until Adam Erne hit his stride.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Love it and hope he can have a career afterwards with the team if he wants

He seemed to have helped speed up Zadinas learning

 

[zizbuka]

No dog in this race, but I'll be rooting for Bobby Ryan to do well.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Honestly, just sign him.

 

[Mister Ed]

If he's cheap and wants to be the 13th-14th forward, I would sign him. I have a hard time seeing where he fits when everyone is healthy, though.

Does he need to be cheap? What's the cap situation in Detroit?

 

[DeysArena]

I'm starting to think that his 7-year, $50-million contract may have been a mistake.

Only time will tell!

15 mil in cap space

 

[Eisen]

15 mil in cap space

Thanks. So, as long as it's short term, they can sign him for whatever. Not that it would take outrageous money to get him.

 

[Holy Slapshot]

Thanks. So, as long as it's short term, they can sign him for whatever. Not that it would take outrageous money to get him.

Well this looks like a plan to get free assets at TDL so if he's cheap, he's more attractive.

 

[SEALBound]

I was wondering about him. I thought maybe the injury was worse that what it was.

 

[Mister Ed]

Thanks. So, as long as it's short term, they can sign him for whatever. Not that it would take outrageous money to get him.

I was thinking along those lines, too. It won't cost much for him, he's coming off a 1 year / 1M deal, so it shouldn't be more than that I'm assuming.

 

[Eisen]

I was thinking along those lines, too. It won't cost much for him, he's coming off a 1 year / 1M deal, so it shouldn't be more than that I'm assuming.

Yeah, considering his last contract, this makes sense. I doubt he's much of a trade bait at this point. More an injury substitute.

 

[Necrobutcher]

Honestly, just sign him.

Yeah. Will be an adequate veteran for sure.

[FireBird71]

Kinda surprising but I’m fine with it

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Has he been really poor in pre-season? Did his skating get even worse? Seems like a good buy low candidate unless he's done.
