There was concerns that Hurricanes' fans are complaining that Ryan was overrused. So I did some looking up of Ryan's stats from NHL.com and compared it among the forwards on that team
Year: GP ATOI P PPP
1 67 14:53(8th) 29(8th) 8(6th)
2 80 15:36(7th) 38(7th) 7(8th)
It doesn't say too much about over use. He did get somewhat significantly more time than the players ranked below him, except for Rask this past year. It does indicate that he's good in a bottom 6 role as his stats seemed much better than the rest of those in the bottom 6.
