Yeah, same reply as most of these. I wouldn't move it because I am high enough on Walhstrom/Boquist (Zadina/Svech if they magically fell). Walhstrom appears to be a lock to be a future 25-30g player and Boquist learning from Karlsson could/would definitely speed things up a bit. I see it as the Hedman/Karlsson draft year again. The under sized but possibly more skilled player will take a few more years to get there but when he does will make everyone regret not taking him but again...4th vs 15th. I don't like the idea of passing on him. Like Zadina, his is supposed to be in the conversation for best skills but his knock is it looks like he gives up when he loses the puck because he can't knock them off and just waits until he gets the puck again.
I also like watching Ryan, even if he doesn't play to the full value to of the 7mil he still plays well and I'd rather we just keep him on the roster and overpay him with money rather than overpay with assets for him to play elsewhere.
