Ryan should consider speculation a compliment

08:30 AM ET 07.10 | The Big Three could wind up being merely a dangerous duo with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. In each of his four full seasons for the Ducks, [Bobby Ryan] has scored at least 30 goals. The number of available NHL players who would fairly compensate the Ducks for Ryan can fit into a Yugo. Sure, he could be better defensively. ... But Ryan should understand that a trade rumor is a compliment. He told a Philadelphia-area reporter last month that the Ducks should just go ahead and trade him to the Flyers. It's nothing that can't be repaired, especially in light of a full year with Bruce Boudreau and maybe on a line with [Teemu Selanne]. Add it up, mix in the Stanley Cup outcome, and it's the worst year for Ducks since the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill.

I still think the ducks losing to Iceland in 93 in the round robin was worse...

There have been stupider things said than "consider it a compliment"...but I haven't heard many lately.
That's right up there with that "they're just jealous" thing that everyone's mom says when the other kids picked on you as a kid.
And that line at the end, trying to be funny? I'm sure the people on the Santa Barbara coast are just giggling over that comparison...

Yeah, but they had a soon-to-be hottie Marguerite Moreau on the team.

Maybe they should call in Emilio to get them (Bobby included) to work together like before maybe even incorporate the flying V

We'd love to have you in Philly, Bobby, but the Ducks are going to ask for too much. Call us when you are a UFA.

Invisible without the puck it's why he took so long to be brought up from the minors
