I think Ryan wants to get paid, i'm not even sure 5.5 would be enough (conflicting reports from Anaheim)...while I love Ryan, I've been hearing murmurs that he's a bit of a headcase.
Harding is not the answer in my opinion, he's not someone i'm personally interested in unless he comes very cheaply. Even then, seems to have some injury issues (even for the limited amount of time he's played).
Yandle is 23, just came off a 41 point season and is signed to a 1.2 cap hit until 11/12 and he's still RFA. For a franchise on the brink, he is absolutely money and won't be traded. That said...i'm going to trade for him in NHL 10 right now

Good idea
