i think u gotta pay more to calgary for retaining part of ryan's deal.

Consider we don’t need another center, I’d be instantly declining.

HOWEVER...

Abramov and a 1st makes the trade very fair taking Kerfoot with it. I think the value is very good and think this could benefit both sides.

ryan hasn’t fallen out of favour at all lol, he was only waived because nobody’s claiming a bottom six centre making 3.125 mil in this climate so it saves us a few bucks on off days being able to keep him on the taxi squad

Well considering this is a 3/4th line guy I don't believe so. This would be a deadline deal so they would be owing him basically nothing. Retaining 50% on a deal is standard practice for rentals. It would only drive up the price if this was a player on a multi year deal (ie Rakell).

Alright I guess I could be wrong especially with the new coach loving guys like this. But he has only played 11 games this season so I can't see him being highly valued. Like I said in the post, this would only happen if Calgary really falls out of it. I still believe that Calgary should be a top 4 team in the division but only time will tell.

I would want at least a 3rd for retained Ryan, he definitely hasn't fallen out of favor just is plaved on the TS on off days to save cap space

He's been injured for the last few weeks, he hasn't missed a game when healthy. He's a lineup regular, not a fringe guy.
