i would not give up any of those goalies for Ryan personally
Please see team in sig.
I tried hard to acquire Bobby Ryan the past two seasons, now I am being offered him for one of my goalies. Would anyone give up a tender (Price/Varlamov/Rinne) for him? Since moving to Ottawa I am not really as excited about him even though he probably has more opportunity there than when he was in Anaheim. I don't think I can make the money this year so I am looking to improve my 10 keepers moving into next season. Usually I like to take two goalies and 8 skaters as keepers. I will also probably get Cam Ward in the deal but he is basically just someone to fill my bench slot.
Thanks!

I agree with Lucifer. Ryan is one of those guys who has more sizzle than steak IMO. I wouldn't give any of your goalies, all of which are very good, up for Ryan, not even close.

If you are looking to next season and won't be keeping Varlamov (as indicated by your signature), then feel free to go for him as it won't have implications for next year.
That said, I don't see the benefit as he isn't a clear upgrade on any of your other keepers. In that league setup I also prefer Skinner to Ryan, so even if you acquired Ryan I'd put him as your 12th keeper. I also prefer Skinner to Moulson, but to each their own. If anything, I would look to package St. Louis with one of your better non-keepers to get a 70+ pt guy for the foreseeable future (depending on when you think you might be able to compete).
Bobby needs this season to be over. If you can somehow get an owner to bite for one of those goalies, then by all means, do it. I just don't see how you can capitalize dealing Ryan right now when his value is so low.
Looking at your team you are relatively set at forward. There is an argument for Ryan over either Moulson or Wheeler but the difference isn't massive IMO. You have 3 nice starters, and I'd prefer to see you parlay Varlamov plus say Pacioretty for a significant upgrade on defence (targeting one of the top options).
I once traded Henrik Lundqvist and Ilya Kovalchuk in return for Peter Budaj and Henrik Zetterberg… have lived in shame ever since.
