I won't be at all surprised if this how we start the year. I'm not convinced we can move Ryan easily enough to replace him with a similarly good 10th forward and also improve the other depth players...hands seem otherwise tied (except for bigger moves)

Yeah I don’t care what Treliving has said in the media, I think Rittich is gone. I don’t see many buyers for Ryan, mostly due to the C depth on some of the teams I would think would be interested.

I think they move him due to circumstance, and bring in another low hit goalie.
