Bobby Ryan

Kyle Turris had 64, as did Mark Stone.

Both at 64, followed by Bobby Ryan and then Mike Hoffman, then Mika Zibanejad, then the Clarks of the MacArthur, Milan McCulloch, David Legrand, Alex Chesson.

Chesson.

Was there as well.

Well, in, in some cases

... well, unless you got, that's where it all came back to that 19-year-old rule, right? Like, we always knew, respectfully, when Bobby Ryan, you know, and he's getting sent back as a 19-year-old, when he's clearly ready for the American Hockey League, you know you're gonna have some attitude adjustment, and you're gonna have the bottom lip out for a while when they come back, 'cause it takes some time to readjust, right?

Well, and, and-

'Cause there's a disappointment

...

these guys are coaching.

Bobby Ryan's in the Nashville.

Bobby Ryan.

Uh, and f- according to Elliotte Friedman, uh, the first four years is a no move clause.

Uh, I think Bobby Ryan was the last guy to have a signing bonus with the Ottawa Senators.

$2 million a year.

Uh, it's, that's something they just have not done in- Dating back to the Melnyk, Melnyk era.

That lasts only two months, and when it's over, Ron is planning to come back to New York.

Bobby Ryan is the hitter.

Nets lead 1-0.

We're in the top of the fifth inning.

There was a moment of hesitation before umpire Lee Wire down the line.

And John Kibler behind the plate to get together on what they were going to call it, but it's a foul ball.

Strike one to Bobby Ryan as he comes back.

He's a right-hand batter from the area of Huntington, Long Island.

Pat Morris represented him.

I knew that there was a relationship with Bobby Ryan, whose father was in jail at the time in Philadelphia.

And that if I knew if I and Mike Stothers was in the Philadelphia organization, so I knew.

If I covered my bases by getting Mike Stutters in as my coach, there was a good chance that if I went down the path and drafted Bobby Ryan, that there was going to be a comfort level that he was going to give up his scholarship and come to the OHL as well.

So there was a lot of thought process that went into it.

Stutz and I really did a good job of kind of, at the time, Owen Sound was a bit of a bottom feeder and we did our work very hard to turn it into one of the top programs in Canada.

Who is it?

Bobby Ryan.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah.

this guy was here forever and yet who can say anything about the time he was here

he also has the distinction of like there must have been some magic in that old silk fedora i took out of my collection of fedoras where i was initially a fan of him like i Like, getting Bobby Ryan was kind of like a, yeah, I watched this guy's highlights on YouTube.

Like, he's not just some nobody.

Like, there's, like, some cachet, you know, to him coming to the team.

We were rid of that monkey's paw of a player.

Hit Hit Clark MacArthur from behind in a way that the entire place knew was fucked up.

And then Bobby Ryan beat the tar out of him.

And I remember it was probably like 11 a.m. or something.
