Top 10 faceoff guy in the league
I think he's a perfect 4th line center/3rd maybe depending on what we end up with.

There is no reason he should be leapfrogging a guy like Jankowski or eating into his ice time at all. Ryan has been logging over 2 min of pp a time a game under Peters and also played over 15 min a game.....There is no reason he should ever see that kind of usage again given the depth down the middle we have.
If you want to bring him in as a safety net and a guy who can win some draws, that's fine. But his numbers are going to fall along with his ice time and based on this alone, his value shouldn't be much more than a 1.5 AAV for 2 years for the Flames.
