- 5 years, $25.5M on Ryan's contract.

Thats a pretty good price for Ryan.

[sh00n]

Surprised he actually signed such a big deal; there were a lot of reports saying that he was refusing anything more than 2 years because he wanted to put up two big years and then cash in big time. I think the Ducks lucked out big time at the price they got him for.

To a point, they need to be catered and fluffed and it doesn't really matter if the Oilers did anything wrong with regards to Sheldon Souray, what matters is that Souray feels that they did.

[Weiwuer]

Souray is a cancer to the Oilers at this point.
