Dallas in the playoffs? Blasphemy!

Lmao why would you add Ryan if you wanna make the playoffs?

First, there's no chance that Ottawa eats half that contract. He still has 4 years left on that abysmal deal. Ottawa eats 50% of the deal and they are paying $3.625M each year for absolutely zero return. They are stuck with that deal unless they can find a team stupid enough to take his full contract. And Dallas is going to want absolutely nothing to do with a $7.5M contract for a guy who's all but fallen off a cliff since going to Ottawa. Keep the 1st round pick and pay JVR $7M+ for 6 years.
