They offered him Getzlaf/Perry Money. Which is like 5.3? and if he's asking for less I really don't understand the problem here. maybe lenght? I don't know.

They didn't offer him Getlaf/Perry money. Murray was quite vague about the dollar figure.

He said 5 years and "20-25 million".

5 yrs 20 is a ****ing insult to a player of Ryan's calibre, and 5 yrs 25 is so close to a done deal that this wouldn't be going on any longer imo.

My only other question in the situation is this...does Ryan's 1st NHL season of 23 games count as a year of service towards his unrestricted free agency?

If so, he only has 4 years left until UFA status and I can see him not wanting to take a 5 year deal unless he's getting some extra coin out of it. That could quite easily be a 7 million dollar paycheque (or more) he's missing out on in that season.
 
Why should Ryan accept anything short of what Kessel got?.......If I'm his agent, I tell them that's the jumping off point.
 
Does this mean an alligator named Burke might be wading out to the deep end to grab a leg of this sandwich?

I thought I read they offered him 4 years/20-25M.

Whatever the terms, my guess is length. Even 4 years at 5.35M a year is pretty low for him. I assume he wants something more like 2 years 10.7M, so that he can put up 2 more good seasons and cash out then.
 
I don't understand how the Ducks could be so against giving Ryan the same contracts Getzlaf and Perry got. He's been better than they were at the same ages, when they signed those deals.
 
The second article lists the previous offer wrong:

LOS ANGELES — Ducks general manager Bob Murray took some time out to cover a few topics ahead of the NHL entry draft that will commence on Friday night at Staples Center.

In the interest of getting things out quickly to the readers of Ducks Blog, here’s some comments from Murray to specific questions while on a conference call with Southern California reporters.

– Murray said he was “surprised” at comments made by winger Bobby Ryan to the Register last weekend about his concern that progress hasn’t been made on talks to extend his contract.

He acknowledged the lack of progress but revealed that “we made him a pretty good five-year offer between $20-25 million.”

“I’m not going to tell you where, but between there,” Murray said. ”That is not chump change. I would think that Don Meehan, his agent, and [Ducks assistant GM] David McNab will have a discussion. We’re all in the same place here.”

I'd rather not thanks.

I'm not saying I agree with TSN or Corks, only that he's not alone in his interpretation of the quote.

So you're saying two parties misinterpreted the interview? What value is there in that assertion? To ANYONE who listens to it it is very clear. Even if you can't count to potato.
 
I'm guessing the personel at TSN listened to the interview.

Do they not count as ANYONE?

I know they may be wrong and that Burke is enough of a lawyer to choose his words very carefully, but I wanted to offer Corks some support.

We're saying we think they're wrong. If you want a chance to disagree, listen to the interview and tell us why. If not, move along.

Corksens apparently listened, but never got back to us...
