He's certainly a little undersized but he has incredible offensive skill in close to the goalie, something the Flames have lacked on their powerplay for ages. In contrast to a guy like Brouwer, who shanks every shot that comes his way in front of the net, Ryan would be excellent considering his muck-it-up and deflection skills...

Not just Ryan. Elias Lindholm is really good in front of the net as well, and it looks like he was a staple there on Carolina's powerplay.
