Your retirement edit was not there when I commented.
Regardless, I am not going to take much time to get into this with you. Everyone here thought he should be resigned and they got him for barely above league min. Year 2, if the cap is shooting up like it's supposed too, his contract might be less than league min so I am not going to get all bent out of shape over paying a pretty useful guy pennies to stay around. ....

Sheesh RD, don't have to be all dismissive and all about a perspective! Chill my friend. Your point is sound, I agree with you but Adam is right there saying Ryan *could* saddle the Oilers with dead cap space should he choose to retire. Maybe he won't but my crystal ball is in the shop..

Known NHL salary cap expert site tweeting an hour ago that the way Ryan's deal is structured, it DOES NOT fall under the 35+ contract status and CAN be fully buried with no penalty to the team. So again, a zero risk deal.

Even if there was a risk, you can always incentivize him to stick around for the year rather than retiring. Derek Ryan screams future NHL management. Plus if he is signing a 2 year deal, he is likely looking to play two more years.
