The Ducks have won twice in nine contests since Bruce Boudreau took over for a fired Randy Carlyle three weeks ago. Because there hasn’t been a turn around ESPN.com’s Pierre LeBrun proposes Bobby Ryan could be a prime candidate to move ahead of the trade deadline again.

LeBrun says “My guess is that if the Ducks are still near the basement come February, GM Bob Murray will begin to listen on offers for Ryan again.”

There would be a significant amount of interest in Ryan. The only impediment being the forward’s $5.1 million annual salary cap hit until 2015.
