Bobby Ryan thinks Players should stay put and fight for rights -NHL Update
In an alternative view, Anaheim Ducks top level right winger Bobby Ryan, has retaliated his stance and termed the players who are signing on board with overseas teams as doing wrong with not only themselves, but also with the National Hockey League Players’
Association (NHLPA).
Stating the reason being that there will eventually be no one to take the stance with the remaining players, their standing is being compromised and weakened as players choose to leave without saying a word.
Setting an example, Bobby Ryan is going to stay where he is and going to continue training with other players while making his voice be heard to the corridors of power. Something he believes will eventually force the league and franchise owners to reconsider
their stance.
"I'm going to handle things the way I think things should be handled," Ryan told New Jersey's Courier-Post in a story published Wednesday.
"I'm going to continue to skate with the guys ... whether it's coming back here (to South Jersey) for a couple weeks at a time ... I think it's important to stay here (in the United States) and be part of the solution and not just run from it."
Ryan is a 25-year-old native of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, United States, and was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks as the second overall back in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
Up until now, Ryan has played five straight seasons with the Anaheim Ducks and has a total of 259 points (136 goals, 123 assists) in 332 games played.
Currently, Bobby Ryan is under contract with the Anaheim Ducks and is signed on for five years for $25.5 million with it set to come to an end after the 2014-2015 regular season.
Bobby Ryan is one of those few players, if not the only one, who has come out recently to let his thoughts be known to those who he thinks are avoiding their duties to not only the fans, but also to the Players’ Association.
Fans can expect Ryan to be active more than ever in the upcoming days and should continue making statements in the media on the lockout.
