I don't see Ryan as a 4th liner, I see him slotting in as the 3RW given the other centers we have, but will also take lots of draws and see some PP time. That's not a 4th liner.

I know a few posters are throwing 2.5mil as a possible cap hit for Ryan but I don't see it, if we're going by the general thought of 1mil/10 points. Anything less than 3.5mil I'd be happy with. 3 years is meh, 2 would be good.

I get what the Flames are trying to do, create four lines that can score like Vegas, rather than bring in just one big name forward and rely solely on that.
