This might be an indication that Ottawa is going to go big in UFA, along with trading their second round picks, for players that they want to protect from Seattle, and Ryan's NMC was getting in the way of that.
Honestly, I'm not against a two year, low money, contract for Ryan to play out as Calgary's line two RW. He looked rejuvenated last season, and having fun for the first time in a decade. Even at his worst, he is a 40-50 point winger.
