Description

Both players stink. Ryan is definitely better, but he is owed about 20 million and Backes is owed 5. Ryan has three years left and Backes only has two. Backes is also a pretty easy buyout for next season. Ottawa gets a good vet D with playoff experience, a bad contract that has a chance of going on LTIR or retiring early, and get out that Ryan contract. Taking on Moore might seen like it kind of evens the money out, but I don't think they would view Moore as a bad contract. He's a fine player, Grzelcyk just outplayed him. I'm not getting into lines, or other contracts, just wanted to see what people thought of a Ryan for Backes idea.

Disclaimer: Backes waives his no trade clause because he's told it's either Ottawa, and the NHL, or Providence, and long bus rides.

and would you rather be in a motel six in upstate new york, or a 5 star hotel in NYC on the road trips?

Why are you paying $5.25M for Bobby Ryan to sit in the press box? It doesn't solve the Backes situation. Ryan can still contribute to any team, whether its offensively or physically. I like the trade for him, but I'd slot him in on the third line. Thoughts?

my thoughts are that you should read the description.
