- Brock McGinn - LW (30 pts)
- Lee Stempniak - RW(9 pts)
- Marcus Kruger - C (6 pts)
- Joakim Nordstrom - LW (7 pts)
- Josh Jooris - RW (6 pts)
- Phil Di Giuseppe - LW (13 pts)
Please tell me which players that were on the 3rd and 4th line in Carolina were being held back because of Peters love for Derek Ryan. The only young player that even has an argument is Phil Di Giuseppe but he's a LW who was competing directly with Brock McGinn.
So the only guys that Ryan held back would be C/RWs ... namely Stempniak, Kruger, & Jooris.

Not to mention that Ryan had the 5th best eP/60 on the Hurricanes at 1.59, which would have also been good enough for 5th on the Flames.
