The Ducks have stated that they have no intention of trading Ryan, whom many believe is just starting to realize his potential as a perennial 40-goal scorer. The winger is well aware of the speculation that he could be dealt away, whether it’s to places like Toronto (where ex-Ducks and current Toronto GM Brian Burke resides) or Philadelphia (near his hometown).

“I know the Toronto for one is whatever reason people say because of the Burke connection,” Ryan said. ”I’d be very surprised if I were moved before I signed or before July 1. I just work out and I try to enjoy Southern California.

“If I were traded, I know there’s places I’d like to go and places I wouldn’t like to go. That’s something that still out of my hands. But if someone e-mails me another Toronto article, I’m going to lose it.”
