I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again.

Derek Ryan does nothing at 2x replacement level except win face offs and refuse to go to tough areas (elite at this)

And yet he makes ~3 mil which is generously above 2x replacement level (league min)

This team will be better off if either a) he sits on taxi all year and they get enough cap room to bring in up to an $8m / year player at the deadline or b) gets claimed on waivers and is no longer blocking guys like ruzicka, gawdin, etc.

I bet Tre wishes he’d only signed Ryan for 2 years.
