If OTT is truly in rebuild mode and they want picks and prospects, then the best move would be to package Karlsson and Duchene and include dumping Ryan's salary to get a max value in return. The problem is, who's going to take on $25M worth of contracts? $11M (Karlsson re-sign), $7m (Duchene) and $7.2M (Ryan) But if they can pull it off with a team, they'd be looking at something to the tune of 2 first round picks, a couple strong prospects, and a couple role players that the other team needs to move to take on $25M worth of cap and OTT would be in a decent position to become a solid contender in 3+ years.
That said, these big deals rarely if ever happen given the cap era.
