Derek Ryan a signé un contrat de 2 ans d'une valeur de 1 800 000 $ avec les Oilers d'Edmonton, le 13 juin 2023. Le contrat comporte un cap hit de 900 000 $.
Great veteran bottom 6 guy. Scored 13 goals, more goals then assists in that bottom 6. Canes legend getting a good contract, while Edmonton is getting an even better deal, also easily burial. Great contract for both sides and I hope it works out for both parties.
good signing by Ken H. He got Ryan to buy in and take a discount. I'm confident DR could have gotten a raise from his last contract if he wanted to hit the open market.
Regardless of value this team should be endeavoring to stay youthful, not older. The playoffs are only getting faster and faster and whatever effectiveness Ryan had last year could fall off a cliff at a moment's notice. For a team counting every cap dollar I don't know about this one.
You can fully bury the contract, so when age does catch up to him, he won't hurt your team's cap space. Hell, this wouldn't be a bad contract if he were to be a healthy scratch some nights.
