Nick Ritchie hasn't even turned pro yet.
Maybe a few more years down the road this trade might turn lopsided for Anaheim, but for now the Sens have gotten the better for it, and certainly wouldn't be a better team with Silfverberg instead of Ryan.

Really?
Silfverberg is a beast. Yes, Ryan has some hi-lite real goals sure. But Silfverberg is a two-way player with great speed and nice finish.
Ottawa with their first, Silfverberg + Noesen is better than having just Ryan IMO.
The day and age of selling farm for 1 player is over.
This is a 4 line league you have to have depth. 2 major assets and 1 depth player for 1 major asset. Do the math.
That deal hurts the Sens more IMO.
