I don't even think he's a huge upgrade on Voracek let alone Yakupov, and if D PIM are at a premium, then consider keeping Chara or Gudas and trade Yaks for a couple of high draft picks.
I would get Ryan and also Stewart (who appears to be out the rest of the season).
I'm out of the running this year, trying to set up for next year.
Have been toying w/ keeping Gudas as a rookie keeper (instead of Nichushkin) since D PIMs are at a premium.
Questions: Is Ryan that much more of an upgrade over my other five keepers (Neal, Staal, Spezza, Yakupov, Hartnell?). I've won the league before with a roster of guys like Hartnell but not this year.
Is Gudas worth considering as a keeper?
How much more should I be asking for if I give up Voracek and Gudas?

I wouldn't do this, Gudas is a beast, and as Dobber mentioned it is debatable how much of an upgrade Ryan is over Voracek.
