He's our trade bait. As you can see from this link, however, http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=448287, we have abused Ryder's value so much, that he ain't worth anything to the general hockey fanbase and is considered spam. Poor Ryder.
Ok I know Latendresse scored a goal but really I want to know how he played. Is he good enough to stick on the first line? Someone who watched the game and who knows a bit about player scouting, please answer.
Please don't give me the whole, 'we would never trade within our division' garbage. I want us to look at trades as simply trying to get better.
Ryder is young, but we lose him to free agency if we don't trade him.
Blake is not doing well in TO but maybe he'll fit better here.
Blake for Ryder?
If I'm Carbo, I put Ryder back up there on the first line for second period. I know it's sounds like a horrible idea but Kosto is just making that line look like AHL material.
