I can't imagine they can keep Perry, Getzlaf, AND Ryan at this rate--guessing they trade Bobby this offseason.
Fowler's signed for a potential bargain, so that helps. Selanne and Koivu's deals are up... they need second AND third liners behind these guys. Beyond the two old Finns, they have Cogliano, Winnik and a bunch of rookies (Etem, Palmieri, Holland, etc.). Do you make a Rick Nash type trade involving Ryan to do that? I don't know if that's the way to go, but I don't know how they get those guys, either.
