Bobby Ryan was involved in one of the best weird moments I have ever seen in hockey.
I'm not sure he's a guy you lock up for 7 years at that kind of dough however. He's not the fastest skater, and I can see him tailing off in the last half of that contract.
Not that Ottawa really had a choice at this point. The trade for Ryan doesn't look that great in hindsight and they have been bleeding star players over the last few seasons. They needed to salvage something from the deal and stop the bleeding.
