Who said Ryan was gonna kill penalties ?

Further we have had a rookie play near a full season 4 straight years in a row:

Monahan, Gaudreau, Bennett, Tkachuk, Jankowski, Kulak, Hathaway all suited up for their first games and played towards full seasons and guys like Mangiapane and Andersson have been given their cups of coffee too at about 10 games each. I don’t get this notion that we don’t play young guys. Sure guys like Wotherspoon, Poirier and Klimchuk haven’t been given as full of a chance but as Sureloss pointed out some of that is on the players themselves. Treliving is going his job making camp competitive; these are great depth signings which really was our weakest issue up front. No complaints bringing in Ryan/Czarnik.
