There's no way Bob Murray is dumb enough to get rid of either Getzlaf or Perry, so that leaves Ryan as the odd man out. I don't think there was a rift between them but it seems like Carlyle had lost the whole locker room, apparently their morning skate today was a lot more light hearted in mood!
I think all this Bobby Ryan trade talk got blown way out of proportion. Anaheim isn't exactly desperate to dump salary (despite the stupid Samueli's not wanting to spend to the cap), and while their secondary scoring is somewhat non existant  , they don't need to trade away Ryan to get it. After next year, Selanne, Blake, and Foster are off the books, and that will free up some dough to get some good players to compliment a second line that should be built around Bobby Ryan.
