However, we need guys who can play at he NHL level in the bottom 6.
I’ve always though your bottom 6 needs guys that excel at 1 specific thing (or else they would be a top 6)
Whether it is PP, PK, shot blocking, hitting , face offs etc
The Flames have not had a guy who can win faceoffs in years / decades?
If Ryan can come in , win faceoffs , and score 10 goals our team is a lot better then we were yesterday

I like that logic. If you are bottom 6 bring something else...
Sounds like Ryan is PP and faceoff specialist. We desperately need a right shot for PP2 anyways.
3 yrs at 3.15m is fine. Even a buyout in year 3 is palatable 1.05m X 2yrs should age catch up to him.
