I just did the same thing but the trade is different

The whole idea of them moving Bobby Ryan is that they are dumping salary, not retaining on him and taking back deadweight Corey Perry.

eumm I don't see any values coming back to Ottawa? You're just trading away bodies and salaries for arguably the best D in the league AND a retained bobby!

Ryan and Perry is a swap of bad contracts -- but Perry's term is shorter at this point and he is still a better player than Ryan. Ritchie is a 22 year old former #10 overall who should be on the verge of becoming a solid top-6 power forward. Montour is not Karlsson, but he is a young, extremely mobile top-4 defenseman who can help on the PP -- he is the guy who made Theodore expendable in the Vegas draft and Vatanen expendable in the NJ trade. Roy is a talented forward who Ducks fan would love to see get a spot on the roster - he did well on a call-up last season. That's two top-6 forwards (including a former Hart winner), a top-4 defenseman/PP quarterback, a top prospect, AND a high pick.

Think you got some of those names wrong. Ottawa would be looking at Rakell and Kase.

While I do think there's certainly some creativity behind the deal you've proposed, it's also full of complications. Not only does Ottawa, apparently, require a 1st round draft pick in 2019 as part of a return for Karlsson, Perry would also need to be willing to waive his NMC, which might, straight away, kill such a deal.
