Confirmed Signing with Link: [DET] Bobby Ryan signs with the Red Wings (1 year, $1M)

[Mickey Marner]

Solid deal.

 

[Captain97]

Makes sense, Det flips him to a cup contender at the deadline for a pick. Free assets for Stevey Y

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

1 mil? Alright I’m down

 

[BCNate]

I'm expecting we see a bunch of 1 year show me deals today.

 

[topshelf15]

Ryan still has those great hands,and has been working out like a madman...He could be a great pickup at that price GJ Detroit

 

[actuallynotPJStock]

Hard to be mad at this signing, great value.

 

[Tetsuo]

Only $1M but gets to stay in the league. There's gonna be a lot of good players going over to Europe with the salary crunch in the NHL and the AHL season in serious jeopardy. If that's the final contract I can't not like it. Zero risk by the Red Wings and if he has any success at all he could be flipped to a contender for a decent asset.

 

[LarKing]

For magic beans? Sure. I don’t mind the signing and it’s not like we’re going to spend our cap space elsewhere but still. Signing reclamation projects and hoping to get a 3rd or 4th RD pick 6 times isn’t the way to rebuild

It certainly doesn’t hurt our rebuild either though. We lose nothing but cap space that we have plenty of.

[Langdon Alger]

Good for Bobby. Good person who’s been through a lot. I wish him well.

 

[Llamamoto]

He can still put up 30-40 points, that's a very good deal.

 

[NyQuil]

Wish him all the best.

His hands have been absolutely brutalized by an endless string of bizarrely random injuries so his shot and goal scoring isn't what it was, but he's still a very good stickhandler, playmaker and creative player offensively.

 

[SEALBound]

Good for him. Good for both sides IMHO. I wish him nothing but the best of the luck in the upcoming season.

 

[Boud]

Detroit fans will love him for that price.

Coming from a Sens fan.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

This is essentially a no-risk signing for Detroit. One year, minimal cash, for a player that will likely outplay the contract.

 

[Pengu]

great value contract

 

[RedMenace]

Yep, I'm oddly okay with that. Welcome aboard, Bobby.

It'll be a bit strange coming from the Western Conference hatred for the Ducks, but yeah. Cool.

 

[RedWingzz]

This is a solid, low-risk move by Yzerman. I really like this move. We need right handed forwards, and we need skill. If it works out for the year, we can resign him again, and if it doesnt work out then we move on.,

 

[TheTotalPackage]

What's the harm for this for Detroit? A bad team signing a talented guy for dirt cheap to fill out the roster. Whatever they get out of him will be a plus, and you know he will be motivated to get his career back on track.

 

[BudBundy]

Very good deal for the Wings.

 

[Telos]

No risk involved really. Happy for Ryan that he could find a team.

 

[Sensinitis]

Wow Detroit is getting tank ready. Well played.

In all seriousness, Good luck to Bobby. Thanks for the legendary performance in the 17 playoffs.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

So, second line could be Zadina - Fabbri - Ryan, I'm guessing?

 

[Sonofamitch]

Solid signing. Flipped at the deadline for the asset. I think the wings fill out their roster with a lot of 1 year deals.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Love it. Good stuff.
